[Steven PIEL]

Dear Ontobee team,

I would like to request the inclusion of the following ontology in Ontobee:

Name: Observatories of the Seas Ontology (OSO)
URI: https://w3id.org/earthsemantics/OSO
Ontology file: https://w3id.org/earthsemantics/OSO
Namespace: https://w3id.org/earthsemantics/OSO#

Description:
The Observatories of the Seas Ontology (OSO) describes marine research infrastructures, observatories, sites and platforms, supporting interoperability and FAIR principles.

The ontology is actively maintained and publicly accessible.

Please let me know if any additional information is required.

Best regards,
Steven Piel

Dear Steven,

 

Thanks for your ontology submission request.

 

I am wondering if you have submitted your ontology to OBO Foundry:

https://obofoundry.org/

 

Thanks,

Oliver

Dear Oliver,

Thank you for your suggestion.

To my knowledge, OBO Foundry is primarily focused on biomedical and life sciences ontologies, whereas OSO is dedicated to marine research infrastructures and observatories.

For this reason, I have not submitted OSO to OBO Foundry, as it does not seem to fall within its core scope.

However, OSO is already registered and publicly available through several relevant platforms, including:
- EarthPortal
- FAIRsharing
- Zenodo (with DOI)

I am also exploring additional ontology registries such as LOV.

Please let me know if you think OBO Foundry could still be relevant in this context.

Best regards,  
Steven
