Addition of 'slum' #41

Open mark-jensen opened 8 years ago

mark-jensen commented 8 years ago

@pbuttigieg @rlwalls2008 Will PCO or ENVO take responsibility for this?

There will probably be crossover with 'informal settlement' and 'inadequate housing', but need domain specialist feedback.

A household-level definition for 'slum' found in several UN sources. Two are: http://www.communitascoalition.org/pdf/Communitas_SDSN_Indicators.pdf http://mdgs.un.org/unsd/mdg/Metadata.aspx?IndicatorId=0&SeriesId=711

A slum household is a household that lacks any one of the following five elements:

ENVO can handle this. I'll add it now.

pbuttigieg commented 8 years ago

Present in envo-edit.owl, will be released soon.

pbuttigieg commented 8 years ago

I can also add the sanitation and water distribution systems to ENVO.

@rlwalls2008 The population of humans living in a slum sounds PCOish yes?

ramonawalls commented 8 years ago

Yes, it could go in PCO. Do we need a term for a population of people living in a slum? If so, I am happy to add it.

Can also add a term for slum household, if we need that (sibling to agricultural household)

Hi, the word 'slum' appears in the SDG

Indicator 11.1.1: Proportion of urban population living in slums, informal settlement, or inadequate housing

I'm not sure if you think this merits the addition of a term for a population of people living in a slum?

The term 'slum' is one of UNEP's priority terms.

mark-jensen commented 8 years ago

@pdez90 The term 'slum' is in ENVO, but isn't currently appearing in SDGIO because the import files need to be updated. The current build was made before 'slum' was added to envo_terms.txt

Either @pbuttigieg or @cmungall will need to rebuild the import files, and maybe create a new release of SDGIO.

I'm not sure if you think this merits the addition of a term for a population of people living in a slum?

@rlwalls2008 has offered to add it to PCO if needed. But the indicator refers to "urban population living in slums, informal settlement, or inadequate housing". So, would there one term that mentions all locations, or three separate terms, one for each living location?

pbuttigieg commented 8 years ago

@pdez90 @mark-jensen @cmungall I regenerated the imports in https://github.com/SDG-InterfaceOntology/sdgio/commit/ff69d83758d7f831e0966c0396291187f2c0f17f. sdgio-edit.owl now has ENVO:slum (you may need to view it in Protégé to trigger the import chain). I can make a new release so it's in the sdgio.owl file, if desired.

I would think that all terms would be useful. The urban population would include slum-dwelling humans, but having a 'slum population' class would be very useful. Yes, we could approach this with axiomatisation, but I feel it would be wise to keep things a little expanded on the class level in the SDGIO case - our users would probably be more comfortable handling classes than alternate axiomatisations.

Is PCO the home for any subclass of population axiomatized using a class from another ontology? E.g. population of humans in a marching band, population of humans in a football team, population of humans in a football team in a bar after a game, ...

pbuttigieg commented 8 years ago

Feels a bit like ENVO habitat : there could easily be thousands of terms which should be kept in a separate artifact, allowing PCO itself to focus on the core semantics On 21 Jan 2016 21:49, "Chris Mungall" notifications@github.com wrote:

@mark-jensen @pdez90 Just made a new release. Terms imported up to today should be included in sdgio.owl.

pbuttigieg commented 8 years ago

Note new class illegal informal settlement in https://github.com/EnvironmentOntology/envo/issues/265#issuecomment-185779047. Please close this issue if NTR is addressed.
