The title of your use case

Mapping ICOS observables to CF convention controlled vocabulary

Domain

Earth and environmental sciences

Purpose of the mapping

Semantic interoperability, Discovery, Data integration

Other purpose of the mapping

No response

Type of mapped resources

Example: We have ICOS-created definitions for tabular dataset column names (e.g. used for time series of observations), such as "Fc_1_1_1", which refers to "carbon dioxide (CO2) flux [µmol m-2 s-1]" as measured at ecosystem stations. These column names are cross-connected to a set of basic (again ICOS-created) quantity kinds, such as "mass flow rate". In order to make the datasets more Findable (as well as Interoperable and Reusable), we are now in the process of adding qualified references for all of these variable-connected ICOS-created definitions to sustainable and trustworthy external semantic resources, such as controlled vocabularies (e.g. the Climate and Forecasting Convention and QUDT), by adding links to concepts and appropriate SKOS-supported statements.

Links to an existing mappings

I don't have a good link here, as this is work in progress.

Tools used for creating the mapping

At the moment, this is a manual effort

Type of mapping relations

Qualified references, including "exact match", "close match", broader and narrower concepts etc.
