The EMI ontology is used to structure spectrum annotation provenance by reusing the PROV-O ontology (a W3C recommendation) and sample and observation data by applying the SOSA ontology. EMI reuses the SOSA ontology as a data schema for struturing the Sample and Observation data. SOSA (Sensor, Observation, Sample, and Actuator) is a subset of SSN (Semantic Sensor Network Ontology) that is a W3C recommendation. [from homepage]
