An FSDF Mandate is an Australian Commonwealth or State & Territory legislation thatassigns responsibility for FSDF data or operations to an FSDF Agency. An FSDF Mandate is represented as a specialised form of DCAT Resource which ensures that a DCAT-style catalogue of instances of FSDF Mandates can be made

The thing whose property is being estimated or calculated in the course of an Observation to arrive at a Result or whose property is being manipulated by an Actuator, or which is being sampled or transformed in an act of Sampling

An observable quality (property, characteristic) of a FeatureOfInterest

The height of a tree, the depth of a water body, or the temperature of a surface are examples of observable properties, while the value of a classic car is not (directly) observable but asserted.

• fsdf:themeOfFeatureWithProperty ^op
• sosa:observedProperty ^op

Act of carrying out an (Observation) Procedure to estimate or calculate a value of a property of a FeatureOfInterest. Links to a Sensor to describe what made the Observation and how; links to an ObservableProperty to describe what the result is an estimate of, and to a FeatureOfInterest to detail what that property was associated with

The activity of estimating the intensity of an Earthquake using the Mercalli intensity scale is an Observation as is measuring the moment magnitude, i.e., the energy released by said earthquake.
