SWEET 1.1 Phenomena (partial)

A property in our ontology could be measuredPhenomena with System as domain and Phenomena (or perhaps a subclass of Phenomena) as the range.

Note: this is actually more an Event ontology; it is not phenomena in the OGC sense (sensor: "an entity capable of observing a phenomenon and returning and observed value.")

Sensor Hierarchy Ontology

Figure from Eid et al's A Universal Ontology for Sensor Networks Data (2007). The paper proposes a two layer prototype ontology that utilizes the IEEE Suggested Upper Merged Ontology (SUMO) as a root definition of general concepts and associations and two subontologies: the sensor data sub-ontology and the sensor hierarchy sub-ontology.
