DCCS Ontology: Description back to ToC

## Structure of the DCCS Ontology The following images shows the basic, simplified structure of the ontology: ![Overview](images/overview_dccs.svg) The DCCS Ontology is structured around a clear separation between the **calibration activity**, the **generated results**, and the **issuing document**. This distinction follows the provenance-based modeling approach of PROV-O and enables explicit traceability between process, result, and certificate. ### Core Classes #### [CalibrationProcess](#CalibrationProcess) The class [CalibrationProcess](#CalibrationProcess) is a subclass of `prov:Activity` and represents the performed calibration as an activity. It models when, where, and by whom the calibration was carried out, as well as which objects were involved. The [CalibrationProcess](#CalibrationProcess) is associated with: - [**Performance date**](#PerformanceDate) - the temporal information describing when the calibration was performed. - [**Performance location**](#PerformanceLocation) - the physical or organizational location of the calibration. - [**StakeholderParticipation**](#StakeholderParticipation) - including the calibration laboratory and the customer. - [**CalibrationObjectParticipation**](#CalibrationObjectParticipation) - both the item under calibration and the measurement equipment used. - [**PersonParticipation**](#PersonParticipation) - individuals performing the calibration and those signing the certificate. In addition, the [CalibrationProcess](#CalibrationProcess) generates a [MeasurementResult](#MeasurementResult), making the provenance relation between activity and result explicit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ #### [MeasurementResult](#MeasurementResult) The class [MeasurementResult](#MeasurementResult) is modeled as a subclass of `prov:Entity`. It represents the outcome generated by the [CalibrationProcess](#CalibrationProcess). By modeling the result as an entity rather than an activity, the ontology ensures a clear separation between the execution of calibration and the information produced by it. The [MeasurementResult](#MeasurementResult) is structured into several associated components: - [**InfluenceCondition**](#InfluenceCondition) - environmental or operational conditions affecting the measurement. - [**MeasurementMethod**](#MeasurementMethod) - the applied calibration or measurement procedure. - [**MeasurementMetadata**](#MeasurementMetadata) - additional contextual or descriptive information about the measurement. - [**ResultData**](#ResultData) - the actual measurement values. The **ResultData** uses [`sis:QuantityValue`](https://ptb.de/sis/#QuantityValue) from the [SIS Ontology](https://ptb.de/sis/) to represent measurement quantities and their associated units in a semantically consistent way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ #### [CalibrationCertificate](#CalibrationCertificate) The class [CalibrationCertificate](#CalibrationCertificate) is a subclass of `prov:Entity` and represents the issued digital certificate. It documents and reports the outcome of the calibration activity. Its internal structure closely follows the XML-based DCC model and consists primarily of: - [**AdministrativeData**](#AdministrativeData) - identification data, document metadata, issuing organization, and signatures. - [**CoreData**](#CoreData) - calibration-specific data associated with the [CalibrationProcess](#CalibrationProcess). The [CalibrationCertificate](#CalibrationCertificate) reports the [MeasurementResult](#MeasurementResult) generated by the [CalibrationProcess](#CalibrationProcess), thereby linking the documented certificate to the underlying calibration activity and its results. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ### Conceptual Design Principle The ontology deliberately distinguishes between: - The [**activity**](https://www.w3.org/ns/prov-o#Activity) of performing a calibration ([CalibrationProcess](#CalibrationProcess)) - The [**entity**](https://www.w3.org/ns/prov-o#Entity) representing the generated results ([MeasurementResult](#MeasurementResult)) - The [**entity**](https://www.w3.org/ns/prov-o#Entity) representing the issued document ([CalibrationCertificate](#CalibrationCertificate)) This separation enables explicit provenance modeling, improved semantic clarity, and supports the integration of calibration data into knowledge graph environments. ### Tables of Quantity Values ![QuantityValueTable](images/QuantityValueTable.svg)
