This repository is used for addressing issues related to task 2 of the I-ADOPT workplan.
Task 2: Survey observation-centric terminologies Conduct a survey, and synthesize the results of related surveys conducted by other groups (like the Polar Vocabulary survey39), of observation-centric top-level representations (in most cases ontologies) and domain-specific terminologies (mostly taxonomies, thesauri, controlled lists for units, methods, instruments, etc.) in use. If necessary, prepare a questionnaire to be sent out Q1 2020, (6 weeks of circulation). This will contribute to building a fine-grained collection list of semantic representations of observable properties (as input for task 4) and to a catalog of domain specific terminologies.
The survey was designed between October 2019 and January 2020 It was launched on 23 January 2020. It targets both terminology users and terminology providers and has been designed in such a way that responders can be either or both.
Preliminary results were presented at the I-ADOPT session at RDA 15 Virtual Plenary and can be browsed in slides 17-27 of this presentation.
A list of terminologies gathered in this survey as well as an initial analysis is available here.
