Re-using and extending existing SKOS concept schemes

See https://www.w3.org/TR/skos-primer/#secextension

Update the vocabulary viewer to support best practices in extending existing vocabularies. We can use the FedX functionality of GraphDB to achieve this. FedX is a way to virtualise two or more GraphDB SPARQL endpoints into one virtual SPARQL endpoint. By doing this, we are not duplicating data. Instead, we are making a normal query to a single SPARQL endpoint that is federated across multiple GraphDB repositories.

Let’s say we are creating a profile of the TERN parameters vocabulary. In short, what happens is we simply define in a new concept scheme what parameters are in it without worrying about duplicating the concept (e.g. label, definition etc.)

What does this mean when creating the DAWE vocabularies?

We simply need to say a particular concept (which already exists in the TERN parameters vocabulary) also exists in the new DAWE observable properties vocabulary.

See the triple below. We are saying the subject http://linked.data.gov.au/def/tern-cv/78b617e9-cd18-40b7-ad38-efc30579e680 is in the scheme http://linked.data.gov.au/def/tern-cv/f8bb9908-9e8f-4e46-bebc-4a00c08afbe1.

Categorical values

The source of truth for categorical values are supplied via https://dev.core-api.paratoo.tern.org.au/documentation.

Observable properties (parameters)

Reuse observable properties if it already exists in the TERN parameters list. If an observable property does not exist, create it in TERN’s controlled vocabularies system.

Feature types

Identify feature types in the Ecosystem Surveillance protocol and map to the TERN feature types list.

Attributes

Reuse attributes if it already exists in the TERN attributes list.

Procedures

Translate the PDF/Word versions of the Ecosystem Surveillance protocol into a more concise machine-readable procedure as a controlled vocabulary.

Instrument types

Reuse from the TERN instrument types list.
