Hi folks I'm looking to sanity check my understanding of the re-use of terms between taxonomies, glossaries, other assets and ontologies in EDG.
If I understand the EDG documentation correctly: - glossary terms can trace to other terms via the "traces to" property - ok and have this working - glossary terms can be mapped to another data asset type by the "maps to term" property - ok and have this working But I'm unclear on how to re-use glossary terms (in a bidirectional) way with taxonomy. - adding a taxonomy to the includes of a glossary doesn't bring the concepts in. - adding a glossary to the includes of a taxonomy also doesn't bring in terms in the opposite direction. I'm guessing a result of the import rules between the two model ontologies. Sure, the taxonomy can be exported as a spreadsheet and imported into a glossary but this seems against the grain and disconnects the two assets. 1. So.... is there a recommended approach or workflow to develop glossary, taxa and other asset types ? e.g. begin at glossary, add some shapes??, import/include to taxonomy and then consume in other assets 2. Is there a direct way extract/annotate/use shapes/magic properties/transform taxa and glossaries to inter-operate with each other ? Finally, regarding ontologies and asserting classes as skos concepts I've done some reading, gone down the rabbit hole and come back out with the understanding that avoid to messy and un-intended entailment issues this type of assertion is to be avoided. So leaving class and skos assertions behind: 3. how then does one re-use the labels from a glossary or taxonomy when developing ontologies ? It seems manual to me so far unless I'm missing something. 4.Can existing taxa or gloss labels be made available to pick at the time of ontology class, property and attribute creation ? Once an ontology is created, I assume but haven't got on to testing, that cross walks and/or EDG search can perform some entity matching and recommendation. Hence hopefully close the loop back to gloss or taxa terms. Is this right ? Many thanks in advance !
