federal partners listed in parentNetwork? #42

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I'm going through the DescribeSensor responses and got to thinking about where 
a federal partner may be listed?  In the instance of a CDIP buoy served on a RA 
SOS web service, the publisher would be the RA, the operator may be Scripps, 
but where would ACE be listed if that information was to be provided?  Would 
ACE be listed in the parentNetwork?

How about a new definition and sml:classifier block with zero-many terms for 
partners?

<sml:classifier name="partners">
  <sml:Term definition="http://mmisw.org/ont/ioos/definition/parter">
    <sml:codeSpace xlink:href="http://mmisw.org/ont/ioos/organization"/>
    <sml:value>ACE</sml:value>
  </sml:Term>
</sml:classifier>

Keeping it generic (partners instead of federalPartners) would allow 
non-federal partners to be specified too.

I like this construct, but after talking more with some of the RA directors, 
they feel there is a need to identify who is funding the platforms.  Instead of 
using the term "partners", can we use the term "sponsors" instead?  This would 
imply funding, and would still be zero-many.  It would also fit under ISO-19115 
Acquisition Details for a platform: 
https://geo-ide.noaa.gov/wiki/images/6/62/AcquisitionDetails.png

I changed this from Milestone 2.0 to 1.0 since I think it's an important 
element and could be implemented easily.

Seems reasonable to use sponsor, if a bit less flexible. Can you work with 
Emilio to add a definition for ttp://mmisw.org/ont/ioos/definition/sponsor?

I found this definition of Sponsor on Wikipedia.  I added it to the vocabulary 
http://mmisw.org/ont/ioos/definition/sponsor.  I can revise the vocabulary if 
their is any disagreement with this suggestion.     

Suggested "Sponsor" definition: 
to support an event, activity, person, or organization financially or through 
the provision of products or services. A sponsor is the individual or group 
that provides the support, similar to a benefactor.

I spoke with abirger, and we agreed that the following would be best, as 
suggested originally by shane:

<sml:classifier name="sponsor">
  <sml:Term definition="http://mmisw.org/ont/ioos/definition/sponsor">
    <sml:codeSpace xlink:href="http://mmisw.org/ont/ioos/organization"/>
    <sml:value>ACE</sml:value>
  </sml:Term>
</sml:classifier>

Once this is added to the templates (I haven't added it yet), I would be OK 
with closing this issue.  Thanks to all that worked on this!

This looks fine. Once the issue is closed and implemented in the templates, it 
should also be added to the ControlledVocabularies wiki page; I think it fits 
best as a new sub-section under 
IOOS Controlled Vocabularies > Organization Descriptors

Derrick's last comment was sent through the email list rather than the Google 
Code Issues system, so I'm copying it here, and replying below:

Someone already added the http://mmisw.org/ont/ioos/definition/sponsor entry on 
MMI. But I think it needs improvements. The description of 'sponsor' is too 
generic, since it's taken from Wikipedia. def_type should be 'classifier', 
source should be 'IOOS', and a name entry should be added.

One thing I suggest adding to the ControlledVocabularies documentation, and 
possibly elsewhere, is that IOOS-supported platforms should be attributed with 
a sponsor entry that includes:
<sml:value>IOOS</sml:value>
That way the asset inventory can pick this up, and use this information. This 
is probably what RA directors were getting at -- the annual (roughly) request 
from IOOS to provide an asset inventory where IOOS support is indicated as: 
None, Partial, or 100%. In practice, I think there are no or mighty few assets 
100% supported by IOOS, so having IOOS as a sponsor can safely be interpreted 
as Partial IOOS Support.

I am closing this issue with this update of the definition for 'sponsor'.  This 
the updated entry at MMI: "A person, group, or organization’s full or partial 
support of an IOOS activity, asset, model, or product." resolved at the url 
http://mmisw.org/ont/ioos/definition/sponsor.
