2. Preamble
2.1. Abstract
The TERN Ontology Specification addresses the data exchange and data representation problems with integrating or exchanging heterogeneous ecological field survey data. The specification combines and profiles multiple internationally-recognised Semantic Web standards and establishes links to informative resources and controlled vocabularies necessary to use the specification.
For many years, the scientific ecological community and industry partners collected rich and insightful data about the land and ecosystems by performing field surveys. Unfortunately, the state of the collected data was often unusable for prompt nationwide reporting and data analysis due to incompatible data storage solutions between non-standardised relational databases, spreadsheets and PDF documents. Without spending further time and money to extract, transform and integrate the data, much of the data’s richness and usefulness is lost.
The solution to this problem of an ever-growing set of heterogeneous data is to use existing standards defined by the W3C and follow the Linked Data set of principles. By building a specification based on existing web standards, the richness of the ecological field survey data can now be integrated and queried as one large graph of data on the World Wide Web.
The TERN Ontology Specification is a profile of W3C’s SOSA, SSN, SSN-ext and PROV ontologies. It uses these ontologies to describe observations and samplings as kinds of activities on a field survey trip and provides associations of these activities to persons and organisations. The TERN Ontology Specification also uses community-based standards such as OGC’s GeoSPARQL to associate spatial features or geometries to things within a field survey trip and QUDT’s Units vocabulary for associating units of measure to results of observations. The TERN Ontology Specification also provides a vast set of TERN-created ecology-based and ecology-related controlled vocabularies to describe observable properties, feature types, instruments and protocol methods. Lastly, the TERN Ontology introduces Site and Site Visit classes to represent survey trips performed on ad-hoc or permanent plots and uses the Attribute class to represent auxiliary information.
2.2. Normative Status
This specification is normative for the TERN Ontology.
3. TERN Ontology Specification
This specification defines the classes and properties of the TERN Ontology and the set of requirements that data validators will use to ensure conformance. This specification also details how data providers should use related ontologies and controlled vocabularies to represent their ecological field survey data. Annex A lists these parts in more detail.
3.1. Scope
The TERN Ontology Specification provides a standardised way to exchange and represent ecological field survey data by defining classes, properties and controlled vocabularies that characterise terrestrial environmental and ecology data. Although the upper ontologies such as SOSA and SSN can theoretically apply to any domain, the TERN Ontology Specification focuses on representing data collected during opportunistic and plot-based field surveys.
Lastly, the TERN Ontology Specification is not concerned with validating data according to specific field survey collection protocols and instead is concerned with validating the structure and coding of the data. Individual data custodians can create a profile of the TERN Ontology Specification and extend it according to their field survey protocol’s data collection methodologies by providing more specialised validation and requirements.
3.2. Standard Parts
This specification is one of many resources that make up the TERN Ontology Profile Standard and expresses its structure using the Profiles Vocabulary [PROF]. Each resource in the profile is assigned a role from the Resource Roles vocabulary.

3.3. Conformance
Requirements define the rules and constraints that validators will use to validate data for conformance.
Each requirement will be assigned a subset of the status types defined by the Registry ontology.
Status type | Icon | Definition |
---|---|---|
An entry that has been accepted into the register temporarily and may be subject to change or withdrawal. |
||
An entry that is seen as having a reasonable measure of stability, may be used to mark the full adoption of a previously 'experimental' entry. |

4.1.10.14. tern:Intervention example
The following example is based on the DCCEEW’s RLP protocols for intervention.
Definition of intervention within the field survey protocol context:
An intervention is a management process to maintain, restore or improve an ecosystem within a spatial area. Interventions can take a range of forms, including fencing to protect remnant vegetation (Spooner et al. 2002), weed and pest animal control (Martin and van Klinken 2006; Reddiex et al. 2006), restoration and revegetation, re-introductions or translocations (Silcock et al. 2019), removal of watering points, controlled burns, nest box installation and community or landholder workshops (Capon et al. 2020).
McCallum K, Laws M, Bignall J, O'Neill S, Sparrow B. (unpublished draft) 'Interventions module' in ….. (eds) Ecological Field Monitoring Protocols Manual: Standardising environmental monitoring and data systems for improved decision making. Draft v 0.1 Report to DAWE. TERN, Adelaide.
4.1.10.14.1. Debris removal
The RLP field survey protocols define a number of interventions in a table. Below shows one example taken from the field survey protocols for debris removal.
All RLP field survey interventions have inputs and outputs. Inputs are modelled as tern:Attribute
class instances and outputs are modelled as tern:Observation
class instances. The tern:interventionType
property links to a global concept within TERN’s controlled vocabularies for debris removal and the sosa:usedProcedure
links to the local protocol-specific version of debris removal. The spatial extent is recorded digitally as a polygon feature in the data input app and is captured here with the geo:hasGeometry
property pointing to a description of the polygon as an instance of geo:Geometry
. The actual coordinates of the polygon are recorded on the geometry object with the property geo:asWKT
. Each one of the input fields are recorded as a tern:Attribute
linked to the intervention activity via the property tern:hasAttribute
. Each individual outcome is also recorded as a tern:Attribute
. Observations that are made after the intervention can be linked using the prov:wasInformedBy
property to express that the observational result was affected by a past intervention activity.
