Abstracting Transport to an Ontology Design Pattern for the Geosciences

Abstract

A core concept in geoscience/physical science research is the concept of transport. We present an ontology design pattern for the notion of transport in the geosciences using natural language coupled with a concept map. The top level concepts of the Transport Pattern are transport entity, transport mechanism, and transport event. These concepts are described in detail, and a brief example is provided to illustrate the usefulness of the pattern.
