If the value of the annotation property denotes an OWL class, then the sameConceptAsClass annotation property should be used instead. A class annotation property that states that the annotated class is conceptually the same class as (i.e., conceptually equivalent to) the referenced class (as given by the value of the annotation property). Note that being conceptually the same can differ from strict class equivalance in that the two classes may have different structural definitions within their specific ontologies, e.g., their superclasses and subclasses in the respective ontologies may differ. A class annotation property that states that the annotated class is conceptually similar (e.g., overlapping), but not identical to the concept identified by the value of the annotation property. If the value of the annotation property denotes an OWL class, then the similarConceptAsClass annotation property should be used instead. A class annotation property that states that the annotated class is conceptually similar (e.g., overlapping), but not identical to the referenced class (the value of the annotation property). The contextFor property states that one observation serves as the context for another observation. In the case of contextFor, the domain is the context, and the range is the observation being contextualized. Context defines a semantic relationship between two entities that is a fundamental aspect of the observations, but not necessarily of the entities themselves. For example, most measurements are accomplished in a spatio-temporal framework that might be valuable context. The assertions made by contextual observations are assumed of the contextualized observations. Context is a transitive relationship. The contextObservationFor property relates an contextualizing observation to the corresponding context measurement. The hasBaseQualifier together with the hasNextQualfiier property allows qualifier characteristics to be combined and ordered. For example, for an MinimumDailyAverage qualifier, the hasBaseQualifier refers to Minimum and the hasNextQualifier refers to a DailyAverage qualifier, and for a DailyAverage qualifier, the hasBaseQualifier refers to a Daily qualifier and the hasNextQualifier refers to an Average qualifier. The hasContext property states that one observation serves as the context for another observation. In the case of hasContext, the domain is the observation being contextualized, and the range is the context. Context defines a semantic relationship between two entities that is a fundamental aspect of the observations, but not necessarily of the entities themselves. For example, most measurements are accomplished in a spatio-temporal framework that might be valuable context. The assertions made by contextual observations are assumed of the contextualized observations. Context is a transitive relationship. The hasMeasurement property gives the measurements of the observed entity. The hasMember property gives the observations of an observation collection. The hasNexQualifier together with the hasBaseQualfiier property allows qualifier characteristics to be combined and ordered. For example, for an MinimumDailyAverage qualifier, the hasBaseQualifier refers to Minimum and the hasNextQualifier refers to a DailyAverage qualifier, and for a DailyAverage qualifier, the hasBaseQualifier refers to a Daily qualifier and the hasNextQualifier refers to an Average qualifier. The hasObservationContext is a special type of hasMeasurement property that links an observation to a context measurement. The hasQualifier property assigns an optional characteristic qualifier to a physical characteristic. Examples of qualifiers are Average, Minimum, Maximum, Daily, etc. The measuredBy property gives the measurement a characteristic is used in. The memberOf property gives the observation collections the observation is a member of. The observationContextFor property gives the contextualized observation for a context measurement. The observedBy property gives the observation of an observed entity. The protocolFor property gives the measurement that uses a protocol. The valueFor property gives the measurement a value is used in. The hasCode property gives the underlying value (or coded representation) of a primitive value. The hasMultiplier property gives the multiplier value in a unit conversion. The hasOffset property gives the offset value in a unit conversion. The hasPower property gives the power a base unit is raised to within a derived unit. This property gives the precision of a measurement value. The usesMethod property gives the actual method used to carry out the measurement.

Alevin Stage Fish Algae A general term for members of several groups of non-flowering, usually photosynthetic, often aquatic, eukaryotic organisms ranging from unicellular to large multicellular forms. They lack true roots, stems and leaves characteristic of terrestrial plants. Most definitions do not include prokaryots (e.g., cyanobacteria) . Taxonomically, these belong to several taxonomic groups often classified as Protista (itself a catch-all term), which are mostly phytosynthetic. The singular form, alga, is less common [various sources]. DeadOrganism An organism no longer able to sustain life. Dead Organism Egg A fertilised ovum, or zygote, and its surrounding material.

Fish Life Stage Force oboe-characteristics:Force Frequency oboe-characteristics:Frequency Illuminance Inductance Irradiance oboe-characteristics:Irradiance Irradiance, radiant emittance, and radiant exitance are radiometry terms for the power per unit area of electromagnetic radiation at a surface. "Irradiance" is used when the electromagnetic radiation is incident on the surface. "Radiant exitance" or "radiant emittance" is used when the radiation is emerging from the surface. The SI units for all of these quantities are watts per square meter (W/m2) (wikipedia). All of these quantities characterize the total amount of radiation present, at all frequencies. It is also common to consider each frequency in the spectrum separately. When this is done for radiation incident on a surface, it is called spectral irradiance, and has SI units W/m3, or commonly W·m−2·nm−1. Length oboe-characteristics:Length LifeStage The developmental stage of life of a given organism. Life Stage Luminance Luminance is a photometric measure of the luminous intensity per unit area of light travelling in a given direction.

Other dissolved solids may be present in significant quantities. Fresh Water GroundWater Groundwater seems to be mostly associated with terrestrial systems (check), and not beneath ocean sediments. So it is subclassed here. The assumtion being that porewater (parent) can be extracted from any sediment (marine, lakebed, streambed, earth, etc) Groundwater H2O H2O Hydrogen Hydrogen Mixture Nitrate Nitrate Nitrite Nitrite Nitrogen Nitrogen is a chemical element that has the symbol N, atomic number of 7 and atomic mass 14.00674 u. Elemental nitrogen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless and mostly inert diatomic gas at standard conditions, constituting 78.08% by volume of Earth's atmosphere. The element nitrogen was discovered by Scottish physician Daniel Rutherford in 1772. Nitrogen occurs in all living organisms. It is a constituent element of amino acids and thus of proteins, and of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). It resides in the chemical structure of almost all neurotransmitters, and is a defining component of alkaloids, biological molecules produced by many organisms. Many important industrial compounds, such as ammonia, nitric acid, organic nitrates (propellants and explosives), and cyanides, contain nitrogen. The extremely strong bond in elemental nitrogen dominates nitrogen chemistry, causing difficulty for both organisms and industry in breaking the bond to convert the N2 into useful compounds, but releasing large amounts of often useful energy, when these compounds burn, explode, or decay back into nitrogen gas (Wikipedia.org, 2010).

Base Unit Boolean Represents a Boolean value, either 'true' or 'false'. Boolean Characteristic A characteristic represents a property of an entity that can be measured (e.g., height, length, or color). We adopt the standard distinction (e.g., as in M. Bunge, 1979) between things (entities) and their properties (characteristics). A characteristic of an entity is observed through a measurement, which further asserts a value of the characteristic for the entity. A characteristic type (e.g., "height") can be associated with many different entities, whereas an individual characteristic (a particular occurrence of the "height" characteristic) is associated to exactly one entity. Characteristic CharacteristicQualifier A Characteristic Qualifier is a generic derived (e.g., computed) property of an entity that must be combined with concrete characteristics to be used in a measurement. A qualifier is either a base (atomic) or composite qualifier. As an example, the base qualifier Minimum can be combined with a characteristic Length to create a Minimum Length qualified characteristic. A composite qualifer is used to combine multiple qualifiers. Characteristic Qualifier 1 1 CompositeCharacteristicQualifier A Composite Qualifier is used to combine multiple qualifiers. Each composite qualifier has a base qualifier and a reference to another qualifier. Composite qualifiers are ordered (through hasNextQualifier) to distinguish between, e.g., AverageMinimum versus MinimumAverage. Composite Characteristic Qualifier 2 CompositeUnit oboe-core:CompositeUnit A CompositeUnit is a product at least two base or derived units. For example, 'meter per second square' denotes a composite unit defined over 'meter' (a base unit) and 'per second square' (a derived unit). Composite Unit Context A context measurement is a special measurement for capturing the details of a contextual relationship among two observations. These details include a characteristic that asserts the relationship between the two entities being observed. Optionally, a protocol (e.g., defining the procedure for observing the relationship) and a standard can also be given (however, these will typically not be specified as part of context). The value of the context measurement is the contextualizing entity, and the observation for the context measurement is the contextualized observation. Context Decimal Represents any real number value (see the XSD decimal type). Decimal 0 1 1 DerivedUnit oboe-core:DerivedUnit A DerivedUnit raises a base unit to an integer power other than 0 or 1. For example, the unit 'square meter' is a unit derived from the 'meter' base unit raised to the power 2. Derived Unit Entity oboe-core:Entity An entity denotes a concrete or conceptual object that has been observed (e.g., a tree, a community, an ecological process). We adopt the standard distinction (e.g., as in M. Bunge, 1979) between things (entities) and their properties (characteristics). Entities constitute the foci of observations, i.e., every observation is of exactly one entity. Entity Measurement oboe-core:Measurement A measurement is an assertion that a characteristic of an entity was measured and/or recorded. A measurement is also composed of a value, a measurement standard, and a precision (associated with the measured value). Measurements also encapsulate characteristics that were recorded, but not necessarily measured in a physical sense. For example, the name of a location and a taxon can be captured through measurements. Measurement Name A Name characteristic provides the name (or label) used for identifying (either globally or within a context) an entity. Name Observation oboe-core:Observation An observation represents an "observed entity," that is, an entity that was observed by an observer. An observation often consists of measurements that refer to one or more measured characteristics of the observed entity. Observations may also be made within a broader context. The context of an observation is given by other observations, implying that an observed entity (and specifically each corresponding measurement) contextualizes another observed entity (and its corresponding measurements). For example, an observation of a location may serve as context for an observation of an organism. In this case, the observed characteristic values of the location (such as humidity) are assumed constant for the observation of the organism. Observation ObservationCollection An observation collection contains a set of observations. Observation Collection PhysicalCharacteristic oboe-core:PhysicalCharacteristic A Physical Characteristic of an Entity is one that is measurable within the physical world, and subsumes primary and derived physical dimensions (e.g., length, mass, area, density). The measured value assigned to a Physical characteristic may be a quantity (a numerical value) or a quality (a label). Physical Characteristic PrimitiveValue A PrimitiveValue is an entity that represents a literal value (e.g., a number, a string, a a Boolean, etc.) Primitive Value Protocol oboe-core:Protocol A protocol represents a specific procedure that is used for generating or processing data. Protocol Relationship oboe-core:Relationship A Relationship represents a directional (binary) association between two entities in which the observed entity is associated to the given entity. Examples include spatial (e.g., within, overlaps, adjacent), temporal (e.g., during, before, after), and composition (e.g., part of, has part) relationships. Relationship Standard oboe-core:Standard A standard defines a reference for comparing or naming entities via a measurement. A standard can be defined intentionally (e.g., as in the case of units) or extensionally (by listing the values of the standard, e.g., for color this might be red, blue, yellow, etc). Standard String Represents any character string value. String Type A Type characteristic provides the type (or class) of an entity as a measured (or observed) value. A typical example is a biological taxonomy designation. Type Unit The base class for physical measurement units. Unit UnitConversion oboe-core:UnitConversion A UnitConversion defines a mapping from a source unit to a target unit via a multiplier and an offset.

One einstein is defined as one mole of photons, regardless of their frequency. Therefore, the number of photons in an einstein is Avogadro's number, 6.022×1023. Quantum flux of Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) is usually reported in microeinsteins per second per square meter, one microeinstein being one-millionth of an einstein. Irradiance might be measured in einsteins per square metre per second, if the source is monochromatic. (note: If the optical frequency is not well defined this is a sloppy misuse of the term irradiance, which is defined in terms of power per unit area, and p. The einstein is used in studies of photosynthesis since the light requirement for the production of a given quantity of oxygen is a fixed number of photosynthetically active photons (about nine photosynthetically active einsteins per mole of oxygen formed).

So it is typically thought of as a dimensionless quantity with no units. It is described here as an Index.

Conductance and admittance are the reciprocals of resistance and impedance respectively, hence one siemens is equal to the reciprocal of one ohm, and is sometimes referred to as the mho. It is named after the German inventor and industrialist Ernst Werner von Siemens. In English, the term siemens is used both for the singular and plural. The 14th General Conference on Weights and Measures approved the addition of the siemens as an SI derived unit in 1971. It is a composite unit in OBOE because it is composed of 2 base units, and OBOE-derived units are a single base unit raised to a power. a siemens is Ampere/volt -1 2 SiemensPerMeter Conductivity is the reciprocal (inverse) of electrical resistivity, ρ, and has the SI units of siemens per metre (S·m-1). "siemens" is used for both singular and plural. Ton 907.2 0 TonToKilogram Tonne 1000 0 TonneToKilogram Volt The volt is defined as the value of the voltage across a conductor when a current of one ampere dissipates one watt of power in the conductor.[2] It can be written in terms of SI base units as: m2 · kg · s−3 · A−1. It is also equal to one joule of energy per coulomb of charge, J/C.

This includes vertebrates of the Actinopterygii class (bony fishes), the Chondrichthyes class (sharks, rays), Acanthodii (spiny sharks) and certain taxa in the Sacopterygii class limited to the lobe-finned fishes, including the Osteolepiformes superorder, Onychodontida order, Dipnoi subclass, and the Coelacanthiformes order. The definition of 'Fish' comes from 'Fishes of the World, 4th Edition' by Joseph S. Nelson, ISBN 0471250317.

Concentrations will have 2 dimensions: SOLUTE [mole-amounts, mass, ionic charge, volume] PER SOLUTION [volume, mass]. Other numerators or denominators may also be possible (tbd) The denominator (solution) is most commonly a volume. But for natural water bodies (e.g. ocean), mass may be used to remove the effects of temperature and pressure on volume when these are significant. Accurate conversions between units are not always straightforward, and must take into account temperature and pressure at which the sample was collected. When solute mass or ionic charge is used (numerator), unit conversions need access to other information e.g, the periodic table of elements, or valence states. Concentrations also include the mixtures of suspended particulates or their components in a volume (e.g. of water). These are non-homogeneous solutions. The protocol should make clear how mixtures are defined. oboe-sbc:ConcentrationOfAmmonium oboe-sbc:DissolvedOrganicCarbonConcentrationProtocol Dissolved organic carbon reported as amount of substance (moles) of Carbon atoms.
