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 .

Point
Anything with spatial extent, i.e. size, shape, or position. e.g. people, places, bowling balls, as well as abstract areas like cubes.
Spatial Thing
Device, agent (including humans), or software (simulation) involved in, or implementing, a Procedure. Sensors respond to a stimulus, e.g., a change in the environment, or input data composed from the results of prior Observations, and generate a Result. Sensors can be hosted by Platforms.
Sensor
Accelerometers, gyroscopes, barometers, magnetometers, and so forth are Sensors that are typically mounted on a modern smart phone (which acts as Platform). Other examples of sensors include the human eyes.
A natural phenomenon involving the physical properties of matter and energy.
Atmospheric Phenomenon
Contains the type of format for the files analyzed.
DataSourceFiles
Indicates if the file that have been analyzed is in format EPW from the Energy Plus Weather or the Climate OneBuilding.Weather services.
EPWFile
Indicates if the type of weather for the period is Extreme, Max for Summer season and Min for Winter season.
ExtremeWeatherPeriodMeasurement
Ground properties where the measures are made.
Ground
Measure of the amount of moisture in the air. It tells you how comfortable it is to be outside, and if there is enough moisture to create clouds and rain.
Humidity
The total luminous flux incident on a surface, per unit area. It is a measure of how much the incident light illuminates the surface, wavelength-weighted by the luminosity function to correlate with human brightness perception.
Illuminance
Indicates if the file that have been analyzed is in format JSON from the OpenWeatherMap service.
JSONWeatherFile
Any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapour that falls under gravity from clouds. The main forms of precipitation include drizzle, rain, sleet, snow, ice pellets, graupel and hail.
Precipitation
The force exerted over a given area or object, either because of gravity pulling on it or other motion the object has. Molecules in the air produce pressure through both their weight and movement, and this pressure is connected to other properties of the atmosphere.
Pressure
The emission or transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or through a material medium.
Radiation
Season
The extent to which the sky is obscured by clouds.
Sky Cover
Individual ice crystals that grow while suspended in the atmosphere—usually within clouds—and then fall, accumulating on the ground where they undergo further changes.
Snow
The measure of thermal or internal energy of the molecules within an object or gas. We can measure temperature of an object using either direct contact or remote sensing. Temperature of air is closely related to other atmospheric properties, such as pressure, volume and density.
Temperature
Indicates if the type of weather for the period is Typical. Average temperature period for season.
TypicalWeatherPeriodMeasurement
Type of measurement for a period.
WeatherPeriodMeasurement
Property type to classify weather data.
Weather Property
The perceptible natural movement of the air, especially in the form of a current of air blowing from a particular direction.
A tangible object designed to accomplish a particular task in households, common public buildings or offices. In order to accomplish this task, the device performs one or more functions. For example, a washing machine is designed to wash (task) and to accomplish this task it performs a start and stop function.
Device
A feature of interest represents any real world entity from which a property is measured. It is linked to the different properties it has and to its measurements.
Feature of Interest
When measuring the height of a tree, the height is the observed ObservableProperty, 20m may be the Result of the Observation, and the tree is the FeatureOfInterest. A window is a FeatureOfInterest for an automatic window control Actuator.
The measured value made over a property. It is also linked to the unit of measure in which the value is expressed and to the timestamp of the measurement.
Measurement
Anything that can be sensed, measured or controlled in households, common public buildings or offices. A list of properties that are relevant for the purpose of SAREF is proposed, but this list can be extended.
Property
An administrative division, unit, entity, area or region, also referred to as a subnational entity, constituent unit, or country subdivision, is a portion of a country or other region delineated for the purpose of administration. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administrative_division)
Administrative Area
A city is a large human settlement. A city is distinguished from other human settlements by its relatively great size, but also by its functions and its special symbolic status, which may be conferred by a central authority. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City)
City
A country is a region that is identified as a distinct national entity in political geography. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country)
Country
The unit of measure is a standard for measurement of a quantity, such as a saref:Property. For example, Power is a property and Watt is a unit of power that represents a definite predetermined power: when it is said 10 Watt, it is actually meant 10 times the definite predetermined power called "watt". The definition of unit of measure in SAREF refers to the definition of unit of measure in the Ontology of units of Measure (OM). A list of some units of measure that are relevant for the purpose of SAREF is proposed, but this list can be extended, also using some other ontologies rather than the Ontology of units of Measure (OM).

Autumn, also known as fall in North American English, is one of the four temperate seasons. Autumn marks the transition from summer to winter, in September (Northern Hemisphere) or March (Southern Hemisphere), when the duration of daylight becomes noticeably shorter and the temperature cools considerably.

Spring, also known as springtime, is one of the four temperate seasons, succeeding winter and preceding summer. There are various technical definitions of spring, but local usage of the term varies according to local climate, cultures and customs. When it is spring in the Northern Hemisphere, it is autumn in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa. At the spring (or vernal) equinox, days and nights are approximately twelve hours long, with daytime length increasing and nighttime length decreasing as the season progresses.
Spring
Summer is the hottest of the four temperate seasons, falling after spring and before autumn. At or around the summer solstice, the earliest sunrise and latest sunset occurs, the days are longest and the nights are shortest, with day length decreasing as the season progresses after the solstice. The date of the beginning of summer varies according to climate, tradition, and culture. When it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and vice versa.
Summer
An individual representing the sky cover property total sky cover from EPW.

Winter is the coldest season of the year in polar and temperate zones (winter does not occur in most of the tropical zone). It occurs after autumn and before spring in each year. Winter is caused by the axis of the Earth in that hemisphere being oriented away from the Sun. Different cultures define different dates as the start of winter, and some use a definition based on weather. When it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere, it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere, and vice versa. In many regions, winter is associated with snow and freezing temperatures. The moment of winter solstice is when the Sun's elevation with respect to the North or South Pole is at its most negative value (that is, the Sun is at its farthest below the horizon as measured from the pole). The day on which this occurs has the shortest day and the longest night, with day length increasing and night length decreasing as the season progresses after the solstice. The earliest sunset and latest sunrise dates outside the polar regions differ from the date of the winter solstice, however, and these depend on latitude, due to the variation in the solar day throughout the year caused by the Earth's elliptical orbit (see earliest and latest sunrise and sunset).
