Source Column	Destination RDF Predicate	Comments
`id`	`dct:identifier`, `rdfs:label`
`site_location_visit_id`	`plot:wasSubActivityOf`	Domain: `ssn-ext:ObservationCollection` with `dct:type` SITE AND LOCATION Range: `plot:SiteVisit`
`veg_barcode`	`sosa:isSampleOf`	Domain: `ssn-ext:ObservationCollection` with `dct:type` TERN: Flora Species AUSPLOTS: Plant species Range: `sosa:Sample` `sosa:hasResult`: `rdf:type`: `data:Text` `data:value`: `veg_barcode` Create `sosa:Sampling` instance `sosa:usedProcedure`: Done Vegetation vouchering method If exists, VEG_BARCODE is a sub sample of the POINT_NUMBER sample.
`method`		Not captured by TERN Plot Ontology. All values are either null, “STAFF”, “EMPTY”, or “Staff”. Values appear to be useless information for end-user.
`point_number`	`sosa:hasSample`	Member of `ssn-ext:ObservationCollection` with `dct:type` TERN: Flora Species AUSPLOTS: Plant species per stratum Range: `sosa:Sample` `sosa:observedProperty`: Point number of intercept REVIEW REQUIRED Sample doesn’t have observedProperties, TS should propably just be ‘has result’ `sosa:hasResult`: `rdf:type`: `data:Text` `data:value`: `point_number` `sosa:isResultOf`: `rdf:type`: `sosa:Sampling` `sosa:usedProcedure`: Point Intercept Method
`substrate`	`ssn-ext:hasMember`, `sosa:hasResult`	Member of `ssn-ext:ObservationCollection` with `dct:type` TERN: Flora Species AUSPLOTS: Plant species per stratum `sosa:observedProperty`: Substrate `sosa:usedProcedure`: Point Intercept Method `sosa:hasResult`: `rdf:type`: `data:Concept` `data:value`: value from collection Substrate
`in_canopy_sky`	`ssn-ext:hasMember`, `sosa:hasResult`	Member of `ssn-ext:ObservationCollection` with `dct:type` TERN: Flora Species AUSPLOTS: Plant species per stratum `sosa:observedProperty`: Canopy Intercept `sosa:usedProcedure`: Point Intercept Method `sosa:hasResult`: `rdf:type`: `data:Boolean` `data:value`: `in_canopy_sky`
`dead`	`ssn-ext:hasMember`, `sosa:hasResult`	Member of `ssn-ext:ObservationCollection` with `dct:type` TERN: Flora Species AUSPLOTS: Plant species per stratum `sosa:observedProperty`: Mortality `sosa:usedProcedure`: Point Intercept Method `sosa:hasResult`: `rdf:type`: `data:Boolean` `data:value`: `dead`
`growth_form`	`ssn-ext:hasMember`, `sosa:hasResult`	Member of `ssn-ext:ObservationCollection` with `dct:type` TERN: Flora Species AUSPLOTS: Plant species per stratum `sosa:observedProperty`: Growth Form `sosa:usedProcedure`: Vegetation structural summary method `sosa:hasResult`: `rdf:type`: `data:Concept` `data:value`: value from collection Growth Form
`height`	`ssn-ext:hasMember`, `sosa:hasResult`	Member of `ssn-ext:ObservationCollection` with `dct:type` TERN: Flora Species AUSPLOTS: Plant species per stratum `sosa:observedProperty`: Plant height `sosa:usedProcedure`: Point Intercept Method `sosa:hasResult`: `rdf:type`: `data:QuantitativeMeasure` `data:value`: `height`
`transect`	`ssn-ext:hasMember`, `sosa:hasResult`	Member of `ssn-ext:ObservationCollection` with `dct:type` TERN: Flora Species AUSPLOTS: Plant species per stratum `sosa:observedProperty`: TS: This should just be the transect ID I think. `sosa:usedProcedure`: Done Point Intercept Method `sosa:hasResult`: `rdf:type`: `data:Text` `data:value`: `transect` The values of this could be created into a controlled vocabulary if AusPlots guys can guarantee no new values are entered in the future.
