All observations result from some procedure, but I think we need to be careful not to create a schema/model that requires the reporting of a procedure for every observation. In...

Below is a proposed start at a UML model for a Geotechnical Process (GT_Process). This object is intended to be the object that is referended by the Observation's procedure property....

Attached are encoding examples of GT_Process for a Lugeon test procedure and a Partlcle Size test procedure using the above model in JSON notation (my apologies for any screw ups...

The below diagram lists the test (observation) procedures currently supported in DIGGS. The procedural attributes are (mercifully) omitted here. Attached, however is a spreadsheet that lists the observed properties for...

The term DIGGS uses for the definition referenced in #10 is "Sampling Feature". Perhaps this term or something even more clear would be preferable to ObservationSupport? In DIGGS, sampling feature...

Following on the really good discussion last week involving the Book A Observations and "ObservationSupport" I've given some thought to how better define the elements on the Miro board, clean...

Looking more closely at the O&M specification, it appears that the concept of an ObservationReferenceFrame appears to be essentially equivalent to O&M's SpatialSample - a geospatial Sample in which properties...

I think the model I proposed can fit in well with the O&M structure with some appropriate property extensions/restrictions for our domain. ORF (the purple things ) = SpatialSample EMF...

@neilchadwick-dg: (sigh) another long post in an attempt to answer your questions _Environmental Monitoring Facility: where does it fit, do we even need it separated out?_ IMHO, EMF's are ORF's,...

I personally would stick with the definition of FluidBody of which one of the major and perhaps only fluid of interest in geotechnics would be water. The WaerBody definition only...
