Ontology: Project and Study are falsely classified as Reference

[akleinau]

Description of the issue

Project and Study are subclasses of Reference right now. A reference can reference to a study or a project, but they themself are more.

Ideas of solution

reclassify as textual entity? Or document? Or just information content entity?

they also need defs.

Workflow checklist

• [ ] I discussed the issue with someone else than me before working on a solution
• [ ] I already read the latest version of the workflow for this repository
• [ ] The goal of this ontology is clear to me

I am aware that

• [ ] every entry in the ontology should have an annotation
• [ ] classes should arise from concepts rather than from words
• [ ] class or property names should follow the UpperCamelCase

[akleinau]

first question is do we want to define project and study just as the final documents or the whole undertaking/ activity?

[akleinau]

notes from the 5th dev meeting:

• There is the process and an object describing the process at the end. What do we need? We see both as Occurents

• to avoid ambiguity between the 'study' process and the 'study' report we can call the latter 'study report'
• We have report imported already as document, therefore study is not needed?
• study as a synonym for report?

[akleinau]

• Project: "A process to achieve a specified goal that's unique in the sum of it's conditions like it's goal, time and cost budget and it's organisation." ?

[akleinau]

I don't think study really is a synonym for report.
Not every report is a study, e.g. a damage report would certainly not be called a study.
I'm not sure if every study is a report though? Then it could become a subclass

[l-emele]

Every study report is a report and every report is a document.

Implement project and delete study temporarily.

[stap-m]

We should reinclude study and distinguish between study and study report, classify and find proper definitions for both.

I like the def proposal for project from @akleinau.
We could make study a subclass of it, with the specification that the goal of the project investigates something. Study = research project?
study report could be a subclass of report and the relation "study has output some study report"

For the record: the def of report (imported from OBI): a document assembled by an author for the purpose of providing information for the audience. A report is the output of a documenting process and has the objective to be consumed by a specific audience. Topic of the report is on something that has completed. A report is not a single figure. Examples of reports are journal article, patent application, grant progress report, case report (not patient record)

[akleinau]

yes sounds good and solves the project/ process vs document problem by implementing both

[akleinau]

@stap-m so defs would/could be:

project: "A process to achieve a specified goal that's unique in the sum of it's conditions like it's goal, time and cost budget and it's organisation."
study: "A project with the goal to investigate sth."
study report: "A report that is the output from some study."

[stap-m]

ok, I'll implement.
