This ontology was developed to enable publication of a vocabulary of water quality properties for the Bioregional Assessments and eReefs projects.
This ontology extends the QUDT schema.
Some key classes and properties are linked to SKOS, so that instances of an observable-property vocabulary are implicitly also SKOS concepts, and may be accessed through general purpose vocabulary APIs based on SKOS.

A general purpose ontology for observable properties. The ontology supports description of both qualitative and quantitative properties. The allowed scale or units of measure may be specified. A property may be linked to substances-or-taxa and to features or realms, if they play a role in the definition.

Quality Kind
non-numeric PropertyKind
Property kind
Superclass of qudt:QuantityKind
This class accommodates all kinds of properties, including those (qualities) that are not described by quantities (numeric values).
May carry constraints, such as substance, objectOfInterest, featureOfInterest, matrix, hostOrganism, to refine the definition of a generalization. property is associated
e.g. tree-height, nitrogen-concentration, concentration-of-zinc-in-the-liver-of-a-specific-fish-taxon-only-males-larger-than-20cm
Substance
type of material
Typically a chemical substance, with a formal designator from CAS or ChEBI or similar, but may include less formal grouplings or union types when needed
Substance
Substance or Taxon
Class of stuff and things, individuals of which identify a class of stuff and things that make observed properties concrete.
Substance or Taxon
Species
Scaled Quantity Kind
Scaled quantity kind has one or more unit properties, which indicate valid units of measure for this quantity kind.
It is likely that this class is equivalent to qudt:QuantityKind, but has been declared independently for governance of the attached qudt:unit property
1
taxon
type of organism, any rank
Preferably with a formally recognised designiation such as a latin binomial, or LSID, but may be a less formal grouping when needed.
taxon
object of interest
In an observable property definition, this is the substance or taxon whose count, concentration, presence, or other similar property, is of interest.
Statistical Measure
host organism
In an observable property definition, the host-organism indicates the host taxon, optionally constrained by sex, age, size etc, for an observable property.
constraint
Constraint that refines the definition of an observable property definition. This may include concerns such as realm of application, substance or taxon involved, host organism, matrix, applicable units or vocabulary.
property kind
applicable vocabulary
In an observable property definition, the applicable vocabulary is the set of terms or concepts from which a nominal value must be drawn.
Compare with QUDT2 'applicable unit'
quality kind
procedure
The procedure is a description of the procedure, algorithm, protocol or sensor system used in making observation or estimate of property value
object of interest
In an observable property definition, this is the substance whose concentration, presence, or similar is of interest.
matrix
In an observable property definition, the matrix is the material context (container feature or medium) for an observable property.
feature of interest
In an observable property definition, the feature-of-interest constrains the feature realm that the property is associated with.
