Description*
OSO (Observatories of the Seas Ontology) provides a semantic framework for describing subsea and deep-sea observatories, with a particular focus on those operated within the EMSO-ERIC (European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and water column Observatory) which is an European Research Infrastructure Consortium., Descriptive ontology for open seas observatories (including all EMSO observatories for European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and water column Observatories), Ontology describing coastal and open seas observatories, including all EMSO observatories as part of the European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and water column Observatories infrastructure., Ontología que describe los observatorios marinos costeros y de alta mar, incluyendo todos los observatorios EMSO en el marco de la infraestructura europea multidisciplinar para el fondo marino y la columna de agua., Ontologie décrivant les observatoires marins côtiers et hauturiers, incluant l’ensemble des observatoires EMSO, dans le cadre de l'infrastructure européenne multidisciplinaire dédiée aux fonds marins et à la colonne d’eau., Ontologie care descrie observatoarele marine de coastă și de larg, inclusiv toate observatoarele EMSO, ca parte a infrastructurii europene multidisciplinare a fundului mării și a coloanei de apă., Ontologia que descreve os observatórios costeiros e de mar aberto, incluindo todos os observatórios EMSO no âmbito da infraestrutura europeia multidisciplinar dos fundos marinhos e da coluna de água., Ontologia che descrive gli osservatori marini costieri e d'altura, compresi tutti gli osservatori EMSO, nell'ambito dell'infrastruttura europea multidisciplinare dei fondali marini e della colonna d'acqua., Ontologi som beskriver kyst- og dyphavsobservatorier, inkludert alle EMSO-observatorier, som del av den europeiske tverrfaglige infrastrukturen for havbunn og vannsøyle., Οντολογία που περιγράφει τα παράκτια και ανοιχτά θαλάσσια παρατηρητήρια, συμπεριλαμβανομένων όλων των παρατηρητηρίων EMSO, στο πλαίσιο της ευρωπαϊκής πολυκλαδικής υποδομής για τον πυθμένα και τη στήλη του νερού., including all EMSO observatories..., Ontologi som beskriver marine observatorier (regionale fasiliteter, steder, plattformer) for å støtte FAIR datastyring og interoperabilitet, spesielt i EMSO ERIC-konteksten., Ontología que describe los observatorios marinos (infraestructuras regionales, sitios, plataformas) para apoyar la gestión FAIR de datos y la interoperabilidad, especialmente en el contexto de EMSO ERIC., Ontologia che descrive gli osservatori marini (infrastrutture regionali, siti, piattaforme) per supportare la gestione FAIR dei dati e l’interoperabilità, in particolare nel contesto EMSO ERIC., Ontologie décrivant les observatoires marins (infrastructures régionales, sites, plateformes) pour soutenir la gestion FAIR des données et l’interopérabilité, notamment dans le cadre d’EMSO ERIC., Οντολογία που περιγράφει τα θαλάσσια παρατηρητήρια (περιφερειακές υποδομές, τοποθεσίες, πλατφόρμες) για την υποστήριξη της διαχείρισης δεδομένων FAIR και της διαλειτουργικότητας, ιδιαίτερα στο πλαίσιο του EMSO ERIC., Ontology describing marine observatories (Regional Facilities, Sites, Platforms) to support FAIR data management and interoperability, particularly in the EMSO ERIC context., Ontologia care descrie observatoarele marine (facilități regionale, situri, platforme) pentru a susține gestionarea FAIR a datelor și interoperabilitatea, în special în contextul EMSO ERIC., Ontologia que descreve os observatórios marinhos (infraestruturas regionais, locais, plataformas) para apoiar a gestão FAIR de dados e a interoperabilidade, especialmente no contexto do EMSO ERIC., including all EMSO observatories as part of the European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and Water Column Observatories infrastructure. Not to be confused with the OpenScienceOntology (OSO)., dans le cadre de l'infrastructure européenne multidisciplinaire dédiée aux fonds marins et à la colonne d’eau. À ne pas confondre avec l'OpenScienceOntology (OSO)., ca parte a infrastructurii europene multidisciplinare a fundului mării și a coloanei de apă. A nu se confunda cu OpenScienceOntology (OSO)., nell'ambito dell'infrastruttura europea multidisciplinare dei fondali marini e della colonna d'acqua. Da non confondere con OpenScienceOntology (OSO)., incluindo todos os observatórios EMSO no âmbito da infraestrutura europeia multidisciplinar dos fundos marinhos e da coluna de água. Não deve ser confundida com OpenScienceOntology (OSO)., som del av den europeiske tverrfaglige infrastrukturen for havbunn og vannsøyle. Må ikke forveksles med OpenScienceOntology (OSO)., στο πλαίσιο της ευρωπαϊκής πολυκλαδικής υποδομής για τον πυθμένα και τη στήλη του νερού. Να μην συγχέεται με το OpenScienceOntology (OSO)., incluyendo todos los observatorios EMSO en el marco de la infraestructura europea multidisciplinar para el fondo marino y la columna de agua.
