E10 Property for the 'statement' text of a finding
Closed this issue · 4 comments
To describe the text of a finding, dcterms:description is being used, e.g. http://data.globalchange.gov/report/nca3/chapter/water-resources/finding/summer-droughts-intensify.thtml
This is called a “statement” in gcis.
Is dcterms:description being used correctly? If not, please locate a term from another ontology, and/or create a term like “FindingStatement” in the gcis ontology and relate it to other terms accordingly.
.
See http://data.globalchange.gov/gcis.owl#Finding (note that other parts of the finding, e.g. uncertainty characterization, are included in the gcis ontology, so it’s only fitting that the “statement” part gets a term)..
In my understanding dct:description
works well there. We can also create gcis:statement
to make it more specific in the context of GCIS.
For consistency purposes, I'd like to create something akin to "gcis:statement," relating it to dcterms:description. Otherwise dcterms:description is fine.
I propose the following.
New term: gcis:findingStatement
hasdomain: gcis:Finding
range: dcterms:description
Definition: "The text of a Finding in a Highly Influential Scientific Document"
Please ensure that my domain and range are accurate and proceed with this.
Actually, I just remembered that I could take the domain and range from the other properties associated with components of findings. I just did that in the pull request I initiated above. Upon the merging of that request, we can close this ticket.
