Minutes review.

Agenda approval.

 

Status of Action Items

  • [Carlos] send email with summary of issues from today's telecon -> done (see this and this).
  • [Bob A] Review facets 2.d Output provided, 2.e Measurement technique, 3.c Operational restrictions, and propose related changes to the ontology -> see email. Discussed today.
  • [Bruce] Review data processing facets and propose related changes to the ontology
  • [Nan] Model 1.d Absolute physical limitations/restrictions, perhaps including 3.c.7 Water or wave tolerance, RF tolerance, other interference problems -> Discussed today.
  • [John?] Model 3.b Interfaces and propose related changes to the ontology -> via email: it will be a few weeks at least before that is feasible.
  • [Luis] Update observation ontology -> via email: working on it

Discussion

  • BA: Because they are more of a physical characteristic (by design), suggest moving the OperationalRestriction subconcepts (except OperationalRange and its subclasses) to the same category as Weight, Buoyancy, Dimension, Material, ie., as subclasses of PhysicalLimit.
  • We agreed on creating class MeasurementRange as a subclass of MeasurementCapabilities
  • BM: example specs: http://www.onsetcomp.com/products/data-loggers/u12-006#tabs-product_page... , http://www.onsetcomp.com/products/sensors/tmc6-hc#tabs-product_page_tabs...
  • Create class EnvironmentalTolerance (EnvironmentalToleranceLimit is a better name?): this will capture what are now OperationalRange and AbsolutePhysicalLimit.  
  • Environmental tolerance will have a "consequence" property indicating what happens if the environment tolerance limit is not met. Possible values include "damaged," "stop working", "unreliable measurements."  Any others? These can be capture via an enumerated type.
  • Environment tolerances include what is now under AbsolutePhysicalLimit and spray tolerance, submersion, water tolerance (how is this defined?), wave tolerance, acceleration, RF tolerance, vibration?
  • Re. 2.e.2 Engagement, active/passive: include this as a property of Sensor
  • BA: On 2.e.3. Sensing Method, I'm not sure what "in situ at a distance" means?  What is an example? RL: Radar water level recorder or radar wave gauge? NG: ADCPs come to mind.
