located_in
A relation between two independent continuants, the target and the location, in which the target is entirely within the location
Location as a relation between instances: The primitive instance-level relation c located_in r at t reflects the fact that each continuant is at any given time associated with exactly one spatial region, namely its exact location. Following we can use this relation to define a further instance-level location relation - not between a continuant and the region which it exactly occupies, but rather between one continuant and another. c is located in c1, in this sense, whenever the spatial region occupied by c is part_of the spatial region occupied by c1. Note that this relation comprehends both the relation of exact location between one continuant and another which obtains when r and r1 are identical

A C14 uptake method is typically used in aquatic environments, for microscopic autotrophs (phytoplankton). C14 is a radioactive tracer added as bicarbonate, and its concentration determined in the plankton after removed by filtration. Measurement scales tend to be small (hours and liters) relative to the scales of other field methods. Photosynthetic and heterotrophic activity are tightly coupled in planktonic systems (Fahey and Knapp, 2007). If the incubation is short enough, the result will be GPP (gross), because presumably, no labeled c14 was recycled (or respired) by the cells.
Sometimes researchers conduct "light-dark bottle", but the dark bottle tells you something different than in o2 light-dark. It gives you dark CO2 uptake, so subtract this from light CO2 uptake if you want autotrophic GPP.

Biome-BGC is an ecosystem process model that estimates storage and flux of carbon, nitrogen and water. Biome-BGC is a computer program that estimates fluxes and storage of energy, water, carbon, and nitrogen for the vegetation and soil components of terrestrial ecosystems.
We call it a process model because its algorithms represent physical and biological processes that control fluxes of energy and mass.
The model uses a daily time-step. This means that each flux is estimated for a one-day period. Between days, the program updates its memory of the mass stored in different components of the vegetation, litter, and soil.
Weather is the most important control on vegetation processes. Flux estimates in Biome-BGC depend strongly on daily weather conditions. Model behavior over time depends on the history of these weather conditions, the climate.

The Canadian Terrestrial Ecosystem Model (CTEM) is designed to serve as the terrestrial carbon cycle component in the coupled Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis (CCCma) atmosphere-ocean general circulation model (GCM). CTEM is a dynamic vegetation model that is able to grow vegetation from bare ground and provides time-varying vegetation structural attributes (e.g., leaf area index (LAI), vegetation height, rooting depth and distribution, and canopy mass) to the land surface scheme it is coupled with. Other than simulating vegetation biomass and its structural attributes CTEM also simulates amount of carbon in its dead pools (litter and soil organic matter), and thus is able to provide net fluxes of CO2 between the land and the atmosphere.
This documentation provides a brief description of CTEM 1.0/1.1 and the manner in which CTEM is coupled to Canadian Land Surface Scheme (CLASS, version 2.7) [Verseghy et al. 1993; Verseghy, 1991]. Coupled CLASS 2.7/CTEM 1.0 are implemented in CCCma's coupled carbon climate model.

Integrated Assessment Modeling (IAM) is a new important research methodology for examining the complex interactions among physical, and human systems. Rather than actually using many of the multi-dimensional and complicated expert models, IAM build on the knowledge achieved by each individual scientific discipline. The uses of such tools need to explicitly recognize and address the existence of considerable uncertainty and scientific debate surrounding climate issues.
Our existing Integrated Science Assessment Model (ISAM) for assessment of climate change (Jain et al., 1994) consists of coupled modules for representation of the carbon cycle, effects of greenhouse gas emissions and aerosols on atmospheric composition, effects on global temperatures using an energy balance model, and processes affecting sea level change. This model has been used to estimate the relation between the time-dependent rate of greenhouse gas emissions and quantitative features of climate global temperature, the rate of temperature change, and sea level that are thought to be indicators of human impact on climate and ecosystems (Wigley et al., 1998). This model has also been applied to studies of Global Warming Potential (GWP, Wuebbles, et al., 1995), and the Economic-Damage Index (EDI, Hammitt et al., 1996) concepts.

The Simple Biosphere (SiB) Model was originally developed by Piers Sellers in the mid-1980’s as an internally-consistent module to surface-atmosphere exchanges of radiation, heat, moisture, and momentum over land.
It was extended in the mid-1990’s by a team of interdisciplinary scientists to include mechanistic linkages to photosynthesis, stomatal physiology, and satellite remote sensing.
Since that time it has been extended to include improved treatment of carbon cycling, soils, snow, hydrology, stable isotopes, phenology, and crops.

The Terrestrial Ecosystem Model (TEM) is a process-based ecosystem model that describes carbon, nitrogen and water dynamics of plants and soils for terrestrial ecosystems of the globe. The TEM uses spatially referenced information on climate, elevation, soils and vegetation as well as soil- and vegetation-specific parameters to make estimates of important carbon, nitrogen and water fluxes and pool sizes of terrestrial ecosystems. The TEM normally operates on a monthly time step and at a 0.5 degrees latitude/longitude spatial resolution, but the model has been applied at finer spatial resolutions (down to 1 hectare).

TRIPLEX-GHG is a process-based model framework used to quantify terrestrial ecosystem greenhouse gas dynamics by incorporating both ecological drivers and biogeochemical processes.
TRIPLEX-GHG was developed from the Integrated Biosphere Simulator (IBIS), a dynamic global vegetation model, coupled with a new methane (CH4) biogeochemistry module (incorporating CH4 production, oxidation, and transportation processes) and a water table module to investigate CH4 emission processes that occur in natural wetlands.

Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter. A pure gas may be made up of individual atoms (e.g. a noble gas like neon), elemental molecules made from one type of atom (e.g. oxygen), or compound molecules made from a variety of atoms (e.g. carbon dioxide). What distinguishes a gas from liquids and solids is the vast separation of the individual gas particles.

Solid is one of the four fundamental states of matter. It is characterized by structural rigidity and resistance to changes of shape or volume. Unlike a liquid, a solid object does not flow to take on the shape of its container, nor does it expand to fill the entire volume available to it like a gas does. The atoms in a solid are tightly bound to each other, either in a regular geometric lattice or irregularly.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is slightly less dense than air. It is toxic to hemoglobic animals (including humans) when encountered in concentrations above about 35 ppm, although it is also produced in normal animal metabolism in low quantities, and is thought to have some normal biological functions. In the atmosphere, it is spatially variable and short lived, having a role in the formation of ground-level ozone.

Particulate organic carbon also decomposes relatively quickly (years to decades) and provides an important source of energy for soil microorganisms. It also plays an important role in maintaining soil structure and providing soil nutrients. Plant residues and particulate organic carbon are often referred to as ‘labile carbon’ because they cycle in the soil relatively quickly.

A manipulative experiment is one in which the experimenter manipulates the system of study in order to attempt to uncover causal relationships. Such experiments can either be rigidly or loosely controlled. In the former case, investigator may create an artificial system in a laboratory setting and control all confounding variables so as to eliminate ambiguity in the interpretation of results. In the latter case, the investigator may simply modify one or two variables of interest in order to determine how the natural system will respond. The statistical methods used to analyse the data are generally of the analysis of variance type, but there are exceptions (especially in the case of loosely controlled manipulations). Two examples follow, one where rigid control was exercised, and one where loose control was used.
Manipulative experiment
Observation of an ecological system of interest under specific, controllable circumstances in an effort to evaluate system response. Fundamentally, manipulative or comarative experments (Hurlbert 1984) require 1) random allocation of treatments (ncluding controls) to experimental units from the population under study and 2) replication of each tratment over several experimental units (Fisher 1925).

Perimeter of a circle
The circumference (from Latin circumferentia, meaning "carrying around") of a closed curve or circular object is the linear distance around its edge. The circumference of a circle is of special importance in geometry and trigonometry. Informally "circumference" may also refer to the edge itself rather than to the length of the edge. Circumference is a special case of perimeter: the perimeter is the length around any closed figure, but conventionally "perimeter" is typically used in reference to a polygon while "circumference" typically refers to a continuously differentiable curve.

Biomass, in ecology, is the mass of living biological organisms in a given area or ecosystem at a given time. Biomass can refer to species biomass, which is the mass of one or more species, or to community biomass, which is the mass of all species in the community. It can include microorganisms, plants or animals.
Use in ECSO:
There are many methods and usages of biomass measurements. This ECSO class is for a group of measurements where only the mass of the material was recorded. Pertinent area and datetime components are implicit (or in the protocol). The mass can be expressed as an average, or as the total mass in the community.

Organic content consists of plant and animal residues at various stages of decomposition, cells and tissues of soil organisms, and substances synthesized by soil organisms. SOM exerts numerous positive effects on soil physical and chemical properties, as well as the soil’s capacity to provide regulatory ecosystem services.[1] Particularly, the presence of SOM is regarded as being critical for soil function and soil quality.[2]
Soil organic content proportion is the fractional amount of all organic matter components of soil, relative to a measurement of the total.

Nitrogen Fixation Rate
Nitrogen fixation is a process in which nitrogen (N2) in the atmosphere is converted into ammonia (NH3). Atmospheric nitrogen or molecular dinitrogen (N2) is relatively inert: it does not easily react with other chemicals to form new compounds. The fixation process frees nitrogen atoms from their triply bonded diatomic form, N≡N, to be used in other ways.

Volumetric Water Content Method
Water content can be directly measured using a known volume of the material, and a drying oven. Volumetric water content is calculated via the volume of water and the masses of water sample before and after drying in the oven. For materials that change in volume with water content, such as coal, the water content is expressed in terms of the mass of water per unit mass of the moist specimen.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_organic_carbon#Combustion
High Temperature Combustion
In a combustion analyzer, half of the sample is injected into a chamber where it is acidified, usually with phosphoric acid, to turn all of the inorganic carbon into carbon dioxide. This is then sent to a detector for measurement. The other half of the sample is injected into a combustion chamber which is raised to between 600–700 °C, some even up to 1200 °C. Here, all the carbon reacts with oxygen, forming carbon dioxide. It's then flushed into a cooling chamber, and finally into the detector. Usually, the detector used is a non-dispersive infrared spectrophotometer. By finding the total inorganic carbon and subtracting it from the total carbon content, the amount of organic carbon is determined.

Counting is the action of finding the number of elements of a finite set of objects. The traditional way of counting consists of continually increasing a (mental or spoken) counter by a unit for every element of the set, in some order, while marking (or displacing) those elements to avoid visiting the same element more than once, until no unmarked elements are left; if the counter was set to one after the first object, the value after visiting the final object gives the desired number of elements. The related term enumeration refers to uniquely identifying the elements of a finite (combinatorial) set or infinite set by assigning a number to each element.

The abundances of plant species are often measured by plant cover, i.e. the relative area covered by different plant species in a small plot. Plant cover is not biased by the size and distributions of individuals, and is an important and often measured characteristic of the composition of plant communities. Plant cover data may be used to classify the studied plant community into a vegetation type, to test different ecological hypothesis on plant abundance, and in gradient studies, where the effects of different environmental gradients on the abundance of specific plant species are investigated.
The most common way to measure plant cover in herbal plant communities, is to make a visual assessment of the relative area covered by the different species in a small plot (see quadrat).

A name is a term used for identification. Names can identify a class or category of things, or a single thing, either uniquely, or within a given context. A personal name identifies, not necessarily uniquely, a specific individual human. The name of a specific entity is sometimes called a proper name (although that term has a philosophical meaning also) and is, when consisting of only one word, a proper noun. Other nouns are sometimes called "common names" or (obsolete) "general names". A name can be given to a person, place, or thing; for example, parents can give their child a name or a scientist can give an element a name.

Uses in science:
Due to differential uptake in plants as well as marine carbonates of 13C, it is possible to use these isotopic signature in earth science. In aqueous geochemistry, by analyzing the δ13C value of surface and ground waters the source of the water can be identified. This is because atmospheric, carbonate, and plant derived δ13C values all differ with respect to Pee Dee Belemnite (PDB) standard. In biology, the ratio of carbon-13 and carbon-12 isotopes in plant tissues is different depending on the type of plant photosynthesis and this can be used, for example, to determine which types of plants were consumed by animals.

From ENVO: Should environmental feature become something more towards a disposition, the assert would be updated to something like "has participant (environmental system or (material entity and has disposition some environmental feature))". There are several issues surrounding the reconcilliation of environmental feature and environmental system, both theoretical and practical.

adfreeze
The process by which two objects are bonded together by ice formed
between them during the freezing of water.
Typically, alassesare large depressions ranging from 0.5
to more than 100 km2 in area and from 5 to 20 m in depth. In the early
stagesof formation, a shallow « 2 m) circular "alas lake" forms in a
steep-sideddepression. Enlargementand ultimate drainage of a number
of such lakes produce low interalas plateaus (termed "mezhalasye" in
Russian). Ultimately, the plateaus disappear and mass wasting produces
gentle side slopes. The term is of Yakut origin.

Primary Production Carbon Flux
Gross primary production (GPP) is the _amount_ of chemical energy as biomass that primary producers create in a given length of time. (GPP is sometimes confused with Gross Primary productivity, which is the _rate_ at which photosynthesis or chemosynthesis occurs.)
For most purposes (including this one) the two can be the same. It's most practical to measure production over a given time interval and area (or volume), and that amounts to an areal (or volumetric) rate.

Carbon Pool
Carbon Pools are reservoirs in the system with the capacity to exchange carbon. Usually scientists are interested in the size of pools, and the movement of carbon between pools. The dimensions of a carbon pool are likely to be mass or moles Carbon per area or volume (eg, kg per m2).

'leaf carbon pool' and 'leaf litter carbon pool' also had associated with them the concepts 'leaves' and 'leaf decomposition' as related terms. These latter two concepts have been removed at this time as too general (leaves) or too processual (leaf decomposition as opposed to 'leaf decompositional pool'). Might consider adding these back in as skos:alLabel.

Gravity soil water drainage and/or soil water lateral flow
Water flows from areas where the water table is higher to areas where it is lower. This flow can be either surface runoff in rivers and streams, or subsurface runoff infiltrating rocks and soil. The amount of runoff reaching surface and groundwater can vary significantly, depending on rainfall, soil moisture, permeability, groundwater storage, evaporation, upstream use, and whether or not the ground is frozen. The movement of subsurface water is determined largely by the water gradient, type of substrate, and any barriers to flow.

a Field_Method is a method for determining a component of primary production that involves observations or measurements of the real world. A field method may have steps which could be considered 'modeling' (such as development of an allometric model of tree growth based on height), but measurements "in the field" (eg, of trees) are always involved. compare to Modeled_Method.

Peak Biomass Harvest Method
Peak Biomass Harvest Method
Fahey and Knapp, 2007, p33
The "Peak Standing Biomass Harvest" method is recommended for grasslands that meet the following criteria:
1) there is little carryover of living biomass from previous years due to distinct dormant season or fire during the dormant season or the previous year's biomass can be easily recognized and separated from the current year's biomass (living and dead)
2) the growing season is sufficiently short or plant material is of such low quality that decomposition of biomass produced can be ignored
3) consumption of plants by herbivores is minimal (i.e., large grazers are absent and small vertebrates and invertebrates can be ignored).
Fahey and Knapp, 2007, p33
Peak_Biomass_Harvest_Method is an estimate of above ground NPP based on the above ground biomass harvested once, usually near the end of the growing season, at or just after the time of peak biomass

Eddy Covariance Method
add these synonyms (near? exact?): also known as eddy correlation and eddy flux
gas flux
It is frequently used to estimate momentum, heat, water vapor, carbon dioxide and methane fluxes. The technique is mathematically complex, and requires significant care in setting up and processing data. To date, there is no uniform terminology or a single methodology for the Eddy Covariance technique.
The technique has additionally proven applicable under water to the benthic zone for measuring oxygen fluxes between seafloor and overlying water.[6] In these environments, the technique is generally known as the eddy correlation technique, or just eddy correlation.
For CO2.... tbd
The eddy covariance method is an atmospheric measurement technique to measure and calculate vertical turbulent fluxes within atmospheric boundary layers, and analyzes high-frequency wind and scalar atmospheric data series, to yield exchange rates (fluxes) of trace gasses.

The stoichiometry of phtotsynthesis is well known. So you can measure O2 evolution, and back calculate to CO2 use.
usually, there is a "iight bottle" and "dark bottle". O2 evolution in the Light bottle is the net result, or sum, of all processes (GPP, Autotrophic resp, and probably some heterotrophic respiration too, because heterotrophs are hard to exclude). So Light bottle = NPP.
Dark bottle is respiration, probably total, eg, autotrophs + heterotrophs.
So light + dark = GPP (or about as close as you can get with a field measurement, and assume that heterotrophs aren't respiring much.)

Carbon Dioxide
Carbon dioxide is a colorless and odorless gas vital to life on Earth. This naturally occurring chemical compound is composed of a carbon atom covalently double bonded to two oxygen atoms. Carbon dioxide exists in Earth's atmosphere as a trace gas at a concentration of about 0.04 percent (400 ppm) by volume. Natural sources include volcanoes, hot springs and geysers, and it is freed from carbonate rocks by dissolution in water and acids. Because carbon dioxide is soluble in water, it occurs naturally in groundwater, rivers and lakes, in ice caps and glaciers and also in seawater. It is present in deposits of petroleum and natural gas.
A one-carbon compound with formula CO2 in which the carbon is attached to each oxygen atom by a double bond. A colourless, odourless gas under normal conditions, it is produced during respiration by organisms that depend directly or indirectly on living or decaying plants for food, and taken up during photosynthesis (adapted from ChEBI).

the rate of transfer of a substance or energy across a given surface
In transport phenomena (heat transfer, mass transfer and fluid dynamics), flux is defined as the rate of flow of a property per unit area, which has the dimensions [quantity]·[time]−1·[area]−1.[Bird et al, 1960] The area is of the surface the property is flowing "through" or "across". For example, the magnitude of a river's current, i.e. the amount of water that flows through a cross-section of the river each second, or the amount of sunlight that lands on a patch of ground each second, are kinds of flux.

Chlorophyll is a term used for several closely related green pigments found in cyanobacteria and the chloroplasts of algae and plants. Its name is derived from the Greek words chloros ("green") and phyllon ("leaf"). Chlorophyll is an extremely important biomolecule, critical in photosynthesis, which allows plants to absorb energy from light. Chlorophyll absorbs light most strongly in the blue portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, followed by the red portion. Conversely, it is a poor absorber of green and near-green portions of the spectrum which it reflects, hence the green color of chlorophyll-containing tissues.

In both PS II and RC P870, light drives electrons from the reaction center through pheophytin, which then passes the electrons to a quinone (QA) in RC P870 and RC P680. The overall mechanisms, roles, and purposes of the pheophytin molecules in the two transport chains are analogous to each other.

Temperature is measured with thermometers that may be calibrated to a variety of temperature scales. Most scientists measure temperature using the Celsius scale and thermodynamic temperature using the Kelvin scale, which is the Celsius scale offset so that its null point is 0K = −273.15°C, or absolute zero. The basic unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI) is the kelvin. It has the symbol K.

Carbon Flux
Carbon fluxes are the movement of Carbon from one place (Source) to another (Sink). Carbon fluxes all have dimensions of {mass or amount of} Carbon per area (or volume) per time. Biochemically-oriented projects use moles (e.g., for Stoichiometry) rather than kg to quantify the amount of Carbon, whereas Climate-oriented projects use kg.
When a system contains two or more components whose concentration vary from point to point, there is a natural tendency for mass to be transferred, minimizing any concentration difference within the system. Mass Transfer in a system is governed by Fick's First Law: 'Diffusion flux from higher concentration to lower concentration is proportional to the gradient of the concentration of the substance and the diffusivity of the substance in the medium.'

Radiative Flux
All processes in engineering involve the transfer of energy. Some examples are the heating and cooling of process streams, phase changes, distillations, etc. The basic principle is the first law of thermodynamics. The net flux of energy through a system equals the conductivity times the rate of change of temperature with respect to position.

Energy Flux
Radiative flux
Radiative flux is the amount of power radiated through a given area in the form of photons or other elementary particles, typically measured in W/m2. Radiative flux also acts as a generalization of heat flux, which is equal to the radiative flux when restricted to the infrared spectrum. When radiative flux is incident on a surface, it is often called irradiance. Flux emitted from a surface may be called radiant exitance or radiant emittance.

Concentration is the abundance of a constituent divided by the total volume of a mixture. Several types of mathematical description can be distinguished: mass concentration, molar concentration, number concentration, and volume concentration. The term concentration can be applied to any kind of chemical mixture, but most frequently it refers to solutes and solvents in solutions. The molar (amount) concentration has variants such as normal concentration and osmotic concentration.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_inorganic_carbon
The total inorganic carbon or dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) is the sum of inorganic carbon species in a solution in freshwater.
The inorganic carbon species include carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, bicarbonate anion, and carbonate.[1] It is customary to express carbon dioxide and carbonic acid simultaneously as CO2* . CT is a key parameter when making measurements related to the pH of natural aqueous systems,[2] and carbon dioxide flux estimates.

The "dissolved" fraction of organic carbon is an operational classification. Many researchers use the term "dissolved" for compounds below 0.45 micrometers, but 0.22 micrometers is also common, saving colloidal for higher concentrations. A practical definition of dissolved typically used in marine chemistry is all substances that pass through a GF/F filter.

Carbon to Nitrogen Ratio
Carbon-to-nitrogen ratio is a ratio of the mass of carbon to the mass of nitrogen in a substance. It can, amongst other things, be used in analysing sediments and compost. A useful application for C/N ratios is as a proxy for paleoclimate research, having different uses whether the sediment cores are terrestrial-based or marine-based. Carbon-to-nitrogen ratios are an indicator for nitrogen limitation of plants and other organisms and can identify whether molecules found in the sediment under study come from land-based or algal plants. Further, they can distinguish between different land-based plants, depending on the type of photosynthesis they undergo.

Carbon Stable Isotope Ratio
Carbon SI Ratio
An isotopic signature is a ratio of non-radiogenic 'stable isotopes', stable radiogenic isotopes, or unstable radioactive isotopes of particular elements in an investigated material. The ratios of isotopes in a sample material are measured by isotope ratio mass spectrometry. The atomic mass of different isotopes affect their chemical kinetic behavior, leading to natural isotope separation processes. For example, different sources and sinks of methane have different affinity for the 12C and 13C isotopes, which allows distinguishing between different sources by the 13C/12C ratio in methane in the air.

pH of water is based on a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution. It is approximately the negative of the logarithm to base 10 of the molar concentration, measured in units of moles per liter, of hydrogen ions. More precisely it is the negative of the logarithm to base 10 of the activity of the hydrogen ion. Solutions with a pH less than 7 are acidic and solutions with a pH greater than 7 are basic. Pure water is neutral, being neither an acid nor a base. Contrary to popular belief, the pH value can be less than 0 or greater than 14 for very strong acids and bases respectively.

Water vapor, water vapour or aqueous vapor, is the gaseous phase of water. It is one state of water within the hydrosphere. Water vapor can be produced from the evaporation or boiling of liquid water or from the sublimation of ice. Unlike other forms of water, water vapor is invisible. Under typical atmospheric conditions, water vapor is continuously generated by evaporation and removed by condensation. It is lighter than air and triggers convection currents that can lead to clouds.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen
Free oxygen also occurs in solution in the world's water bodies. The increased solubility of O2 at lower temperatures has important implications for ocean life, as polar oceans support a much higher density of life due to their higher oxygen content. Water polluted with plant nutrients such as nitrates or phosphates may stimulate growth of algae by a process called eutrophication and the decay of these organisms and other biomaterials may reduce the O2 content in eutrophic water bodies. Scientists assess this aspect of water quality by measuring the water's biochemical oxygen demand, or the amount of O2 needed to restore it to a normal concentration.

description
Schildhauer, orcid.org/0000-0003-0632-7576
"description" is an OWL "Annotation property" that contains a a more verbose, less prescriptive natural language explication of the concept to which it is attached (or applied, or annotated) in contrast to a "definition" Annotation property.
Use the "definition" Annotation property for scientific concepts when possible, as opposed to the "description" Annotation property
Schildhauer, pers comm, 05Feb2014, orcid.org/0000-000300632-7576
description_Source
"description_Source" is the Annotation property that can be used to provide the reference source or Authority, as an ISBN,DOI, bibliographic citation, etc. to the source of the "description" contained in an associated "description" Annotation property that is attached (annotated) to some concept.
Ideally a descriptionSource is structured in a well-known and accepted format, that provides an unambiguous pointer to a source reference, but often even some accurate indication of a reference source is better than nothing at all.
As description Annotation properties are often not as rigorous, and hence looser and more verbose than definition Annotation properties, these fields may be more readily used for informal pedagogical advice and direction rather than being proscriptive

has_Exact_Synonym is an OWL annotation property that holds an alternate name or lexical variant of an owl class.
The DataONE carbon flux ontology uses synonyms for terms that may not be well defined. But we know that they are used, and refer to an owl class. I.e., a concept can have a synonym, but a concept should not be a synonym.
Margaret O'Brien, 2015-03-18
We are not planning to use has_Broad_Synonym or has_Narrow_Synonym at this time. although other ontologies do. the concepts of "broad" and "narrow" imply relationships that could be better described with the class hierarchy.

"example_Of_Usage" is an OWL annotation property to record examples of how the concept or property should be used.
"example_Of_Usage" is for providing examples. It should contain actual sample strings for the resource it applies to. longer, text descriptions of good practice for the resource belong in the "description" annotation.

A metal is a material (an element, compound, or alloy) that is typically hard, opaque, shiny, and has good electrical and thermal conductivity. Metals are generally malleable — that is, they can be hammered or pressed permanently out of shape without breaking or cracking — as well as fusible (able to be fused or melted) and ductile (able to be drawn out into a thin wire). About 91 of the 118 elements in the periodic table are metals, the others are nonmetals or metalloids. Some elements appear in both metallic and non-metallic forms. Astrophysicists use the term "metal" to collectively describe all elements other than hydrogen and helium. In that sense, the metallicity of an object is the proportion of its matter made up of chemical elements other than hydrogen and helium. Many elements and compounds that are not normally classified as metals become metallic under high pressures; these are formed as metallic allotropes of non-metals.

rdfs:label is a built in annotation property, and W3C does not give guidelines beyond the definition. In the DataONe Carbon Flux ontology, we use rdfs:label for a human-readable version of the resource's name, but adhere to a particular pattern. Our goal is that content of rdfs:label are not broken into individual terms arbitrarily.
1. Our practice is to separate individual words in the rdfs:label with underscores, but maintain capitalization consistent with the conventions of the resources type (e.g., camel case for properties, capitalized words for classes, capitalized abbreviations and acronyms).
2. include namespace in the label, if resource is imported.
