4 Observations and measurements reference data

4.1 Introduction to observations and measurements reference data

4.1.1 Data for each item

For each observations and measurements object there is the following:

The computer interpretable formats are as follows:

EXCEL

The relationships with other geometric and topological objects, and with entities in ISO 15926-2, are recorded as a set of EXCEL spreadsheets.

OWL

The relationships with other geometric and topological objects are recorded as a set of OWL ontologies.

The appropriate fragment of an ontology is included as a note within a text description. For example, the text description of observing_activity has the note:

NOTE 2 OWL specification:

4.1.2 Interface with ISO 15926-2

The classes defined in ISO 15926-2 that are referenced by this part of ISO 15926 are as follows:

iso15926-2:activity

Subclasses of the class iso15926-2:activity are defined in this part of ISO 15926. These subclasses are members of iso15926-2:class_of_activity.

iso15926-2:possible_individual

Subclasses of the class iso15926-2:possible_individual are defined in this part of ISO 15926. These subclasses are members of iso15926-2:class_of_individual.

iso15926-2:class_of_individual

Members of the class iso15926-2:class_of_individual are defined in this part of ISO 15926.

iso15926-2:physical_object

Subclasses of the class iso15926-2:physical_object are defined in this part of ISO 15926. These subclasses are members of iso15926-2:class_of_individual.

NOTE 1 The class iso15926-2:possible_individual also has subclasses iso15926-2:materialized_physical_object and iso15926-2:functional_physical_object, which are referenced in examples within this part of ISO 15926.

iso15926-2:relationship

This part of ISO 15926 defines many subclasses of iso15926-2:relationship. The subclasses are members of iso15926-2:class_of_relationship.

NOTE 2 The class basics:mapping is a subclass of iso15926-2:relationship and basics:structure.

iso15926-2:composition_of_individual

A whole-part iso15926-2:relationship between instances of iso15926-2:possible_individual is a subclass of iso15926-2:composition_of_individual. The whole-part iso15926-2:relationship can be temporal or spatial.

This part of ISO 15926 regards relationships as directional, so that iso15926-2:composition_of_individual is refered to as iso15926-2:has_part or iso15926-2:part_of.

iso15926-2:temporal_whole_part

A iso15926-2:composition_of_individual that is purely temporal.

This part of ISO 15926 regards relationships as directional, so that iso15926-2:temporal_whole_part is refered to as iso15926-2:has_temporal_part or iso15926-2:temporal_part_of.

iso15926-2:spatial_location

Subclasses of the class iso15926-2:spatial_location are defined in this part of ISO 15926. These subclasses are members of iso15926-2:class_of_individual.

iso15926-2:period_in_time

Subclasses of the class iso15926-2:period_in_time are defined in this part of ISO 15926. These subclasses are members of iso15926-2:class_of_individual.

iso15926-2:indirect_propery

An observing_activity observes an iso15926-2:indirect_property of a iso15926-2:possible_individual.

Within this part of ISO 15926, iso15926-2:indirect_property is refered to as "physical property".

iso15926-2:property

An observing_activity can determe the iso15926-2:property that is the value taken by an iso15926-2:indirect property of a iso15926-2:possible_individual at an instant.

Within this part of ISO 15926, iso15926-2:property is refered to as a "physical quantity".

iso15926-2:thing

This part of ISO 15926 refers to iso15926-2:thing. A iso15926-2:thing can be mentioned in a formula.

iso15926-2:class_of_information_representation

This part of ISO 15926 defines information_content to be a subclass of iso15926-2:class_of_information_representation.

4.1.3 Interface with ISO 15926-3

The classes defined in ISO 15926-3 that are referenced by this part of ISO 15926 are as follows:

basics:mapping

Members of the class basics:mapping are defined in this part of ISO 15926. They are also members of iso15926-2:class_of_relationship.

basics:function

Members of the class basics:function are defined in this part of ISO 15926. They are also members of iso15926-2:class_of_relationship.

4.1.4 Interface with ISO 15926-4

The classes defined in ISO 15926-4 that are referenced by this part of ISO 15926 are as follows:

iso15926-4:information

An alternative definition and the alternative name information_content is given by this part of ISO 15926.

iso15926-4:detecting_instrument

The class observation_device is defined as a superclass of iso15926-4:detecting_instrument in this part of ISO 15926.

iso15926-4:indicating_instrument

A member of the class indicator can be a part of a member of the class iso15926-4:detecting_instrument.

NOTE 1 The class iso15926-4:transmitter is relevant to this part of ISO 15926. A definition in the style of this part of ISO 15926 is as follows:

An object is a iso15926-4:transmitter if and only if:

OWL specification:

-->
<owl:Class rdf:about="&iso15926-4;transmitter">
 <rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="&iso15926-2;physical_object"/>
</owl:Class>
<!--

NOTE 2 The class iso15926-4:detecting_element is relevant to this part of ISO 15926. A definition in the style of this part of ISO 15926 is as follows:

An object is a iso15926-4:detecting_element if and only if:

This class is equivalent to "detector" as defined by SensorML.

A iso15926-4:detecting_element can be a clock.

OWL specification:

-->

 <rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="&iso15926-2;physical_object"/>
</owl:Class>
<!--

NOTE 3 References to quantities and scales defined within ISO 15926-4 are made by examples within this part of ISO 15926.

4.1.5 Organization of the reference data

The reference data is organized into subsets, which are documented in subclauses as follows.

4.2 Observing activity
This clause defines concepts related to an observing activity, and the objects that play roles in an observing activity, such as the observed physical object, the observing device and the result.
4.3 Information
This clause defines concepts related to the information produced by an observing activity, which can be regarded as a file of data or as a set of statements.
4.4 Temporal part and time
This clause defines concepts necessary to describe observations and measurements using the "4D" modelling approach.
4.5 Variation of property
This clause defines concepts necessary to describe the variation of a property with respect to space or time.
4.6 Monitoring activity
This clause defines concepts related to a monitoring activity which reports events according to monitoring criteria.
4.7 Monitoring criterion
This clause defines concepts necessary to define a monitoring criterion.
