[Ontdev] new related ontology found

[John Graybeal]

I found this ontology while preparing for the W3C meeting:
http://marinemetadata.org/references/sensordataontology

It has a sensor hierarchy component that is worth a look.

Actually, I found a paper about the ontology, no time to find the  
ontology yet.

Also, the following references may be of interest.  Carlos, can you  
get them on a suitable page in the Device Ontology group?

The first reference [1] is all the items tagged on the MMI site with  
the 'Sensors' keyword. This includes some things we don't care about,  
but the titles are usually self-explanatory enough to be helpful.   
Particularly note IEEE 1451 as an important reference model.

The second reference [2] contains vocabularies that we've found that  
relate to sensors, particularly types of sensors, in the marine  
community. While some of these are simply lists of terms, many of them  
contain clues about the characteristics that were important.

The third reference [3] contains a few of the most relevant ontologies.

The fourth reference [4] shows some diagrams of ontologies that have  
proven relevant to our work. Not all of these are sensor ontologies  
exactly, and it's nice to have a couple of graphical references on one  
page.
