We require more classifiers for horizon subdivisions

For example from A1. Needed to create A21 etc, which were not available as concepts.

Are creating the concepts for subdivisions something you plan to do?

prefix and suffix into one result/one column of data against obsv property “horizon classification”
This requires a vocab for eg for “B22k”

Does each prefix suffix combination need to be created?

The YB assigns classifiers to numeric ranges
eg see size "2" "Medium" for results in range of 5 - 15 mm

if data providers give a number as a result eg "7 mm", then we are storing it as that.

We were not sure if "medium" was more meaningful as a result to some soil folk? we stored this as a separate result (for one dataset, at least) - Pretty cumbersome

Don't think this has implications for YB encoding, but just flagging FYI as data transfer issue

@bsimons14 may have further comment here

We are using the following vocab terms and their identifiers to describe features.
Currently they are type SKOS Collection (not features).
I think this is all of them. We are only using a subset of these, but we have them stored in our DB as features

peds and segregations-of-pedogenic-origin – we are not using as features

For observable properties you have defined as type SKOS Collection and type Observable Property. Might it be possible to do similar for features also?

So the source for this https://www.iana.org/assignments/urn-formal/isbn , ISBN 9780643093959
could be -
URN:ISBN:978-0-643-09395-9 ?
I'm just guessing where the "-" goes..... does not seem to matter according to https://www.iana.org/assignments/urn-formal/isbn

re concepts that are collections and also observable properties (eg texture class)
They include the procedure in the descriptions

This made it a bit confusing to know:
whether it is appropriate to use these obsv properties in association with results obtained by different procedures
to know whether to use the YB classifiers if the procedure that was used to obtain the results was unknown
