Re: [ontology-summit] Progressing a Units Ontology - Now

["Patrick Cassidy" <pat@xxxxxxxxx>]

Starting to collect ‘unit of measure’ ontologies.

I have placed the NASA SWEET “sciUnits.owl” ontology in the OOR repository(http://oor-01.cim3.net/ontologies) as SWEETunits.  I also modified that file to change two of the relations from imported (from the NASA math ontology) to native to the units ontology itself; this change makes those relations visible in a Protégé instance window.  This minimally modified SWEET ontology is listed as ‘SWEETunits Mod1’.  They are classified in the “File by Category” list as “other”.  Using this category reduces the number of ontologies presented in the list, making it easier to find SWEET units – but it’s easy enough to find when “All Categories” are displayed.

 

Any other unit ontologies we should consider?

Everyone:

I am pretty amazed by this thread so far.  It seems that everyone agrees it is important work, it is not difficult from a technical perspective and highly probable that many industries will find such work useful.  There are a lot of great ideas put forward too.

Maybe this is a perspective not shared by all but I would also aver that this may present a great opportunity for this group to do some tactical ontology work.

Would it be possible to aggregate copies of all the existing ontologies or taxonomies dealing with units of measure into a subfolder of the oor sandbox repository?
