[seek-kr] ontology figure from abq

[Matt Jones]

Mark, Bertram, Shawn, and Rich,

I checked in the diagram that we made in ABQ regarding the carbon flow 
ontology.  It is in CVS:
   seek/docs/figures/seek-cf-measure-ontology.ai
and in case you don't have Adobe Illustrator:
   seek/docs/figures/seek-cf-measure-ontology.png


The major change is the addition of "UnitType" to the properties of 
MeasurementType.  I was thinking where "unit" went (as opposed to 
UnitType) and decided it was a property of a particular attribute rather 
than a MeasurementType.

This whole thing doesn't really consider nominal and ordinal scale 
things, so we need to determine how MeasurementScale fits in to the 
picture.  But I thought my updated version would be of use to you.
