IDMP-735 - Add preliminary mapping of Commons, LCC, and MVF to BFO (WIP) #579

Open ElisaKendall opened 7 months ago

ElisaKendall commented 7 months ago

Description:

  1. Add new mapping ontology from Commons to BFO
  2. Revise the mapping to reflect the latest Commons 1.2 updates
tw-osthus commented 7 months ago

scalar quantity as subclass of bfo:continuant is problematic.

The duration of a process is a scalar quantity (a property of a phenomenon) in commons, but it is not a continuant as it changes continuously and therefore is an occurrent

Same are time derived such as velocity or acceleration. For these you can define the differential as continuant (the current speed), but most have to be profiles in BFO and are therefore continuants.

The quantity values (information about quantities) are continuants (GDCs)

@tw-osthus Ok thank you. I'll move scalar quantity up the food chain for the moment under entity and we can continue to iterate.
