Enhanced glacial semantics via alignment with Environment Ontology

[kaiiam]

Hello dpbedia development team,

I am currently writing my master's thesis with a focus on glacial semantics. I am a contributor to the Environment Ontology (ENVO) and am interested in enhancing dbpedia's glacial semantics by aligning them with ENVO classes.

An example contribution I would like to make would be to change the dbpedia glacier class currently of rdf:type owl:Thing, to being of type ENVO:glacier. ENVO is also written in owl hence I would merely be improving the hierarchy of the terms.

Allowing me to make such changes would constitute a preliminary step in aligning the dpbedia semantics with the OBO Foundry. Please let me know if you would be interested.

Cheers,
Kai
