Utilizing the previously created ontology and the list of ECSO relevant terms from the ADC search queries, I created 35 new classes and added over 70 annotations to preexisting classes within ECSO. One of the larger classes created was Ecosystem, a subclass of <em>Carbon Cycle Component<\/em>, for which 29 new subclasses were made each describing the various global ecosystems. These ecosystems classes were procured from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.physicalgeography.net\/fundamentals\/9d.html\">PhysicalGeography.net.<\/a> The structure of this new class and several of its expanded sub classes are shown below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/notebooks.dataone.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Artboard-3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3020\" src=\"https:\/\/notebooks.dataone.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Artboard-3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"428\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>These Ecosystem <em>Carbon Cycle Components<\/em> (<em>CCC<\/em>) are the essential nouns to the carbon cycle knowledge model we are constructing. These nouns now will&nbsp;be linked via Object Properties to the other relevant nouns and verbs related to carbon cycling. For example, highlighted in green in the figure above <em>Benthic Oceans<\/em> is a term within <em>CCC <\/em>and <em>Benthic Algae Carbon Pool<\/em> is a subclass of <em>Total Living Biomass Carbon<\/em> a subclass of <em>Carbon Pool<\/em>. We can connect these two terms via an Object Property relation such as <em>Benthic Algae Carbon Pool<\/em> \u2018has location\u2019 <em>Benthic Oceans<\/em>. In this way we will begin to create relations between terms. The need to create these connections is further exemplified by the figure shown below of the three occurrences of <em>Dissolved Organic Carbon <\/em>(highlighted in green).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/notebooks.dataone.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Artboard-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3021\" src=\"https:\/\/notebooks.dataone.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Artboard-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"762\" height=\"510\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Dissolved Organic Carbon <\/em>is a subclass of <em>organic material<\/em>, while <em>Dissolved Organic Carbon Flux <\/em>is a subclass of <em>flux_MeasuremenType<\/em>, and<em> Dissolved Organic Carbon Pool <\/em>is a subclass of <em>Carbon Pool<\/em>. Currently these terms, while clearly related, are in no way linked with ECSO. In order to link them I have used the ECSO Object Property \u2018composed primarily of \u2019 as is shown in the figure below. So now, the <em>Dissolved Organic Carbon Pool <\/em>is \u2018composed primarily of \u2019 <em>Dissolved Organic Carbon.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/notebooks.dataone.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Artboard-4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3019\" src=\"https:\/\/notebooks.dataone.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Artboard-4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"355\" height=\"313\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There are many more examples to come as we continue to add new carbon cycling terms to ECSO.
