This paper describes the Ontology of Units of Measure and Related Concepts (OM), an OWL ontology of the domain of quantities and units of measure. OM enables to make quantitative research data more explicit, so that data can be integrated, verified, repoduced, etcetera. The various options for model
In science it is difficult to reuse quantitative scientific data. For example, it is not possible to search for quantitative data in papers in a directed way, such as using the query "Select the storage modulus of dairy product A after the temperature has decreased from 90 to 4±C". This is caused by
Computers are central in processing scientific data. This data is typically expressed as numbers and strings. Appropriate annotation of bare data is required to allow people or machines to interpret it and to relate the data to real-world phenomena. In scientific practice however, annotations are of
The ever increasing amount of data gathered by more growers in more years offers possibilities to add value. Therefore a common and controlled vocabulary of the potato domain that describes concepts, attributes, and the relations between them in a formal way using a standardised knowledge representa
Science and engineering heavily depend on the ability to share data and models. Ontologies provide such standards. We have found that existing ontologies only define subsets of the necessary concepts and relations. We therefore propose a new ontology, called OM (Ontology of units of Measure and rela
Science and engineering heavily depend on the ability to share data and models. The World Wide Web provides even greater opportunity to reuse such information from disparate sources. Moreover, if the information is digitized it can to a large extent be processed automatically. However, information s
The ever increasing amount of data gathered by more growers in more years offers possibilities to add value. Therefore—for interested parties and stakeholders—a common and controlled vocabulary of the potato domain that describes concepts, attributes, and the relations between them in a formal way u
