3. 3 Q2O Dictionary References Source used include – QARTOD Reports – CDIP web site – NDBC Handbook – IOOS Standards Submission for Waves – IOC Manuals and Guides Format for References –refID –fullReference Example –q4 "Fourth Workshop on the Quality Assurance of Real-time Data, Final Report, QARTOD-IV Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, Woods Hole, MA, June 21-23, 2006."

4. 4 Considering what can make up a dictionary? (1) ID = unique urn (e.g. "urn:ogc:def:property:Q2O:gapTest") (1-n) long name = human readable label (e.g. gap test) (0-n) short name = (e.g. sst) (1-n) definition = (note multiple definitions must not be conflicting) (0-n) symbol = (e.g. "Hs, Td") (0-n) reference = links to online documents (0-n) figure = images that help explain or are referenced in the definition (0-n) approval = unique id of authoritative body that have approved this term and definition (e.g. "urn:us:nga") (0-n) relationship = ontological link to other objects (0-1) equation = defining equation (mathML) (0-n) comments = additional information supporting the term

5. 5 Considering what can make up a dictionary? (1) ID = unique urn (e.g. "urn:ogc:def:property:Q2O:gapTest") (1-n) long name = human readable label (e.g. gap test) (0-n) short name = (e.g. sst) (1-n) definition = (note multiple definitions must not be conflicting) (0-n) symbol = (e.g. "Hs, Td") (0-n) reference = links to online documents (0-n) figure = images that help explain or are referenced in the definition (0-n) approval = unique id of authoritative body that have approved this term and definition (e.g. "urn:us:nga") (0-n) relationship = ontological link to other objects (0-1) equation = defining equation (mathML) (0-n) comments = additional information supporting the term

8. 8 Using voc2rdf for Q2O Well-formed table (MS Excel or Text Editor) – first row contains column headers – first column must be unique id or term (rdfs:label) – all other columns become an owl:DatatypeProperty – number of fields = number of headers – commas within a field but save file as tab-delimited – no single or double quote chars in any field for now – cut and paste into voc2rdf – verify structure using table view

9. 9 Using voc2rdf for Q2O Content – describe Quality Control tests (procedures) and their criteria (inputs and outputs) rangeTest, minimum, maximum, flag – one term for each test – one term for each criteria (not already defined) – abstract tests and terms – relationships between tests and criteria – once in VINE, mappings will be drawn and “Relationships” column to be removed

10. 10 Using voc2rdf for Q2O Developing content was an iterative process – What goes in vocab vs SWE elements – Let the vocab help describe – Let SWE handle details – Where to draw the line? – Not an either or – The line moves

11. 11 Registering Q2O Terms What will the URI for the term look like? –rangeTest term from table –qcCategory/rangeTest voc2rdf pull-down menu –q2o/qcCategory/rangeTest Authority in registration –http://mmisw.org/ont/q2o/qcCategory/rangeTest

14. 14 Changes to Q2O Vocab What about editing ontology or term? –Version control –metadata changes made easy thru –Changes to a term or added new terms edit rdf, or table and repeat voc2rdf –Had to re-enter ontology metadata –Posted defect under google issues and it was fixed. –The process works!

15. 15 Relationships within Q2O Vocab ? –exactMatch, closeMatch, narrowMatch, broadMatch, relatedMatch –rangeTest > maximum –rangeTest > minimum –rangeTest > flag
