OGC Building Blocks Meta-Registry FOCAL OGC Blocks
ogc
OGC Blocks for the FOCAL project. The main content is a machine-readable model for the transferability of climate-service workflows - where a workflow's results are valid, what reference and calibration artifacts it depends on, and what must happen to them before the workflow can be reused elsewhere. The register also carries a forest-typology ontology and data model, originally built as a worked demonstrator of bblocks' semantic-binding and JSON-LD-enhanced map-view capabilities applied to a real domain.

FOCAL Ontologyogc.focal.focal-ontology
RDF contents for the FOCAL ontology
model
under-development
FOCAL Forest Stand Feature Collectionogc.focal.forestStandCollection
GeoJSON FeatureCollection of FOCAL forest stands, providing a spatial dataset of forest units classified by forest type, region, and management unit.
schema
under-development
FOCAL Forest Stand Featureogc.focal.forestStandFeature
GeoJSON Feature representing a spatially delineated forest stand classified according to the FOCAL forest typology system, with properties describing forest type, region, management unit, area, and data provenance.
schema
under-development
FOCAL Forest Stand Propertiesogc.focal.forestStandProperties
Schema defining the properties of a FOCAL forest stand, including forest type classification, forest region, target management unit, field verification status, area, and data provenance.
schema
under-development
FOCAL Artifact Acceptance Criteriaogc.focal.transferability.acceptanceCriteria
What a dataset must satisfy to serve as a given artifact - variable name, acceptable units (QUDT), required axes, acceptable grids, schemas it must conform to. What makes replace-with-local-equivalent actionable rather than merely stated.
schema
under-development
FOCAL Computation Type (mixin)ogc.focal.transferability.computationType
Reusable mixin adding computationType, an open-vocabulary classification of how a workflow computes its results (statistical/ML, deterministic/rule-based, precomputed data delivery). Optional at the workflow level.
schema
under-development
FOCAL Transferability Envelope Constraintogc.focal.transferability.envelopeConstraint
A single {role, dimension, value} statement bounding where a workflow's results are valid, addressable by id so rules can cite which boundary they are evaluated against. Spatial values are GeoSPARQL geometries and temporal values DCAT periods, so a consumer can evaluate them without knowing FOCAL.
schema
under-development
FOCAL Workflow Maturity Status (mixin)ogc.focal.transferability.maturityStatus
Reusable mixin adding maturityStatus, an open-vocabulary classification of a workflow's operational maturity (prototype, pre-operational, operational). Deliberately a separate vocabulary from a bblock's own authoring-lifecycle status field.
schema
under-development
FOCAL Transferability Notes (mixin)ogc.focal.transferability.notes
Reusable mixin adding a free-text escape hatch for transferability facts the controlled vocabularies cannot capture. Uplifts to rdfs:comment rather than a FOCAL-specific property.
schema
under-development
FOCAL Quality Annotationogc.focal.transferability.qualityAnnotation
A single statement of uncertainty or confidence about a workflow's results, independent of its maturityStatus. Binds to the W3C Data Quality Vocabulary (DQV) directly, since no OGC Block wraps DQV.
schema
under-development
FOCAL Transferability Ruleogc.focal.transferability.rule
What must happen, to which artifacts, under which envelope conditions. Conditions cite envelope constraints by id and are conjunctive; actions are an OR-set.
schema
under-development
FOCAL Transferability Statementogc.focal.transferability.transferabilityStatement
Where something's results are valid (envelope), which reference/calibration artifacts it depends on (artifacts), and what must happen to each under which conditions (rules) - three id-addressable lists joined by reference rather than nesting.
schema
under-development
FOCAL Transferability Vocabulary and Model Ontologyogc.focal.transferability.vocab
The RDF vocabulary behind the FOCAL workflow transferability model: ten open SKOS concept schemes (actions, triggers, condition tests, envelope dimensions, envelope roles, artifact roles, scenario markers, computation types, maturity statuses, quality dimensions) plus the classes and properties FOCAL mints where no published vocabulary says the same thing.

under-development
FOCAL Transferability Workflowogc.focal.transferability.workflow
Profile of a CWL Workflow adding FOCAL's machine-readable transferability facts: a transferability statement (validity envelope, reference/calibration-artifact adaptation rules), computation type, maturity status, and quality annotations.
