This ontology extends the SAREF ontology for the Agricultural domain. This work has been developed in the context of the STF 534 (https://portal.etsi.org/STF/STFs/STFHomePages/STF534.aspx), which was established with the goal to create three SAREF extensions, one of them for the Agricultural domain.
SAREF4AGRI: an extension of SAREF for the agriculture and food domain
SAREF4AGRI is an extension of SAREF for the agriculture and food domain. SAREF4AGRI is specified and published by ETSI in the TS 103 410-6 associated to this ontology file. The list of use cases, standards and requirements that guided the creation of SAREF4AGRI are described in the associated ETSI TR 103 511.
The WGS84 altitude of a SpatialThing (decimal meters above the local reference ellipsoid).
altitude
The WGS84 latitude of a SpatialThing (decimal degrees).
latitude
The relation between something and the point, or other geometrical thing in space, where it is. For example, the realtionship between a radio tower and a Point with a given lat and long. Or a relationship between a park and its outline as a closed arc of points, or a road and its location as a arc (a sequence of points). Clearly in practice there will be limit to the accuracy of any such statement, but one would expect an accuracy appropriate for the size of the object and uses such as mapping .

Taxon rank
This class represents the top-level feature type. This class is equivalent to GFI_Feature defined in ISO 19156:2011, and it is superclass of all feature types.
Feature
The class represents the top-level geometry type. This class is equivalent to the UML class GM_Object defined in ISO 19107, and it is superclass of all geometry types.
Geometry
The class spatial-object represents everything that can have a spatial representation. It is superclass of feature and geometry.
SpatialObject
Uniquely identified by lat/long/alt. i.e. spaciallyIntersects(P1, P2) :- lat(P1, LAT), long(P1, LONG), alt(P1, ALT), lat(P2, LAT), long(P2, LONG), alt(P2, ALT). sameThing(P1, P2) :- type(P1, Point), type(P2, Point), spaciallyIntersects(P1, P2).
A point, typically described using a coordinate system relative to Earth, such as WGS84.
Point
A temporal entity with zero extent or duration
Instant
A temporal entity with an extent or duration

A Platform is an entity that hosts other entities, particularly Sensors, Actuators, Samplers, and other Platforms (definition taken from http://www.w3.org/ns/sosa/Platform)
Platform

System is a unit of abstraction for pieces of infrastructure that implement Procedures. A System may have components, its subsystems, which are other Systems. (Definition taken from http://www.w3.org/ns/ssn/System)
System

A building represents a structure that provides shelter for its occupants or contents and stands in one place. The building is also used to provide a basic element within the spatial structure hierarchy for the components of a building project (together with site, storey, and space).

Actuator
A directive that a device must support to perform a certain function. A command may act upon a state, but does not necessarily act upon a state. For example, the ON command acts upon the ON/OFF state, but the GET command does not act upon any state, it simply gives a directive to retrieve a certain value. We propose here a list of commands that are relevant for the purpose of SAREF, but this list can be extended.
Command
Device
Feature of interest
The functionality necessary to accomplish the task for which a Device is designed. A device can be designed to perform more than one function. Functions can be structured in categories (subclasses) that reflect different points of view, for example, considering the specific application area for which a function can be used (e.g., light, temperature, motion, heat, power, etc.), or the capability that a function can support (e.g., receive, reply, notify, etc.), and so forth.
Function
A saref:Property related to some measurements that are characterized by a certain value that is measured in a humidity unit
Humidiy
Humidity
Represents the measured value made over a property. It is also linked to the unit of measure in which the value is expressed and the timestamp of the measurement.
Measurement
An aspect of an entity that can be observable by a sensor.
Anything that can be sensed, measured or controlled in households, common public buildings or offices. We propose here a list of properties that are relevant for the purpose of SAREF, but this list can be extended.
Property
Sensor
The state in which a device can be found, e.g, ON/OFF/STANDBY, or ONLINE/OFFLINE. We propose here a list of states that are relevant for the purpose of SAREF, but this list can be extended.
State
The goal for which a device is designed (from a user perspective). For example, a washing machine is designed for the task of washing. We propose here a list of tasks that are relevant for the purpose of SAREF, but this list can be extended.
Task
A saref:Property related to some measurements that are characterized by a certain value that is measured in a temperature unit (degree_Celsius, degree_Fahrenheit, or degree_kelvin)
Temperature
A saref:Property that allows to specify the time concept in terms of instants or intervals according to the imported W3C Time ontology.
Time
The unit of measure is a standard for measurement of a quantity, such as a Property. For example, Power is a property and Watt is a unit of power that represents a definite predetermined power: when we say 10 Watt, we actually mean 10 times the definite predetermined power called "watt". Our definition is based on the definition of unit of measure in the Ontology of units of Measure (OM). We propose here a list of some units of measure that are relevant for the purpose of the Smart Appliances ontology, but this list can be extended.
