Hi Nicholas,

The Semantic Sensor Web Ontology by our group at Kno.e.sis might be useful for your purpose. The schema is available at http://archive.knoesis.org/research/semsci/application_domain/sem_sensor/ont/sensor-observation.owl

Any chance that you could add some rdfs:isDefinedBy relations to your ontology? See: http://goo.gl/uRB4c . Once you add these relations FYN in the TBox will flow much better :-)

Hello,



I guess that the Event Ontology would be a good starting point.

I am thinking of doing some weather data logging as RDF. Is there an existing vocabulary for logging temperature, pressure, wind speed etc ? On a related note, how wrong is it to encode the unit of measurement (eg Centigrade) as a datatype?
