ISSUE-4: Modelling accuracy and related properties of a sensor's measurement
Accuracy-etc
Modelling accuracy and related properties of a sensor's measurement
- State:
 - CLOSED
 - Product:
 - W3C Semantic Sensor Network Ontology
 - Raised by:
 - Michael Compton
 - Opened on:
 - 2010-03-25
 - Description:
 - There is a page on the wiki
http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/ssn/wiki/Modelling_of_Accuracy%2C_etc
describing a way to model accuracy and related properties of a sensor. The page is still evolving. And illustrative examples as well as some more content will be added.
Is this a reasonable way to model these concepts? And, along with all other comments, please suggest better names for the concepts.

Related notes:
MMI device ontology [1] defines a class measurement capability and subclasses Accuracy, Range...etc..
The measurement capabilities have a range Range and Range has a type ValueType with has a  property uom (Units of Measurement).
So I propose:
- Change quality for capability
- Make all special conditions “Range..” subclass of Measurement Capability
- MMI needs to rename some classes to be consistent
- Need to better define the value types and use of uom, or reuse another ontology for this purpose

This issue has been upgraded into the "Finalise the Measurement Capabilities" issue
Complete all the activities required to deliver the Operational/survival range part of the SSN ontology
