Align ecfo:ChemicalCompound to MolecularEntity? #14

Open dgarijo opened 1 year ago

Or dbpedia:ChemicalCompound.

We have not included this in the first version of the ontology, as we don't want to describe in detail ChemicalCompounds, just link to them. These are two potential candidates.

And alignment with the Open Energy Ontology seems relevant

Some methodologies use intermediate CFs where the result is not expressed in GHG. For example, miles -> kWh for different types of vehicles. We have not included these types of CFs into the current knowledge graph but if we want to include them in future we might need to re-think the concept of chemical compound altogether

As I mentioned last week, one of the feedback I got (from domain experts) in my presentation was that ecfo:ChemicalCompound is not a good concept for what we want to represent with "has emission target" (because not all of them are "chemical compounds", e.g. "CO2e").

I would discuss this with domain experts before investing time in it (I think we will not have ecfo:ChemicalCompound in next versions of the ontology, so the alignment work could be a waste of time).
