Abstract	The OSO ontology structures marine observatories into three hierarchical levels: Regional Facilities, Sites, and Platforms. It supports FAIR data management, interoperability, and integration of heterogeneous marine infrastructure information, particularly within the EMSO ERIC framework. See more...
Accrual method	Curated integration of marine observatory information from authoritative research infrastructure and observing network sources. See more...
Accrual periodicity	http://purl.org/cld/freq/continuous See more...
Accrual policy	Active curation and progressive extension. The ontology is iteratively improved using FAIR ontology assessment results, including O'FAIRe and FOOPS!, while instance data are continuously maintained from authoritative EMSO sources and progressively extended to other major marine observing networks worldwide. See more...
Alternative name	OSO See more... Open Seas Observatories See more...

Audience	Marine observatory and ocean observing system operators, research infrastructure data managers, marine data scientists, ontology engineers, and developers working on semantic interoperability and FAIR marine data. See more...
