Deal all,
In CRMsci, we need a reference to the measurements of the positions of
things, in terms of place geometries that are measured and calculated by
this kind of activities. So, a first idea is to extend the model to
include a Measurement Position Activity that produces a geometric place
definition in gml terms (which also may include the place of the
possible sampling activities).
So, a proposal for a new class:
“Position Measurement”
Subclass of: S21 Measurement/S3 Measurement by Sampling
Scope note:
This class comprises activities of measuring the positions of instances
of E2 Temporal Entity or E77 Persistent Items, (properties of physical
things, or phenomena, states and interactions or events), e.g during a
sampling activity, that can be determined by a systematic procedure.
During a Sampling Event that takes place, the scientist in order to
collect samples and observe the occurrences (encounter events) in the
specific area, keeps the information about the area of sampling by a
number of measurements. By these area measurements, also encounter
events volumes can be calculated. Furthermore, the volume of the
sampling event can also be calculated.
All these related processes can be modelled by a Position Measurement
activity that produces a Geometric Place Definition, which includes the
Phenomenal Place in which the Sampling Activity took place.
Properties: produces: Geometric Place Definition?/or SP5 Geometric Place
Expression: Q10 defines place: SP6 Declarative Place
