Quantify UN Sustainable Development Goals and corresponding indicators #151

Open brylie opened 3 years ago

brylie commented 3 years ago

The United Nations Development Programme has defined a framework of Sustainable Development Goals. The goals typically include one or more development indicators that may be possible to quantify and track. Research the SDGs/indicators to determine which of them can be quantified. See if any other open-source projects/libraries have similar ambitions of quantifying sustainability data, and in particular the UN SDGs.

The Sustainable Development Goals Interface Ontology (SDGIO) project aims to clarify the nature of and inter-linkages between the entities referenced by the SDGs, their targets, and indicators. SDGIO imports multiple OBO Foundry ontologies to help link data products to the SDGs.
