-+
-Central Classes are the generic data classes at the centre of Data Domains with high-level relationships between them defined in this supermodel. 
-+
-These classes are taken from general standards - usually well-known international stadnards - and specialised and extended within implementation scenarios to cater for specific needs.

-[id=data-domain]
-Data Domain::
-
-`http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/def/sm/terms-definitions/data-domain`
-+
-High-level conceptual areas within which Geosicence Australia has data. 
-+
-These Data Domains are not themed scientificly - 'geology', 'hydrogeology', etc. - but instead based on parts of the _Observations & Measurement_ <<ISO19156>> standard, realised in Semantic Web form in the SOSA Ontology, part of the _Semantic Sensor Network Ontology_ <<SSN>>.

-Current Data Domain are shown in <<fig-top-level, Figure 1>>.
-
-[id=knowledge-graph]
-Knowledge Graph::
-
-`http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/def/sm/terms-definitions/knowledge-graph`
-+
-A Knowledge Graph is a dataset that uses a graph data tructure - nodes and edges - with strongly-defined elements.
-
-[id=linked-data]
-Linked Data::
-
-`http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/def/sm/terms-definitions/linked-data`
-+
-A set of technologies and conventions defined by the https://www.w3.org[World Wide Web Consortium] that aim to present data in both human- and machine-readable form over the Internet. 
-+
-Linked Data is strongly-defined with each element having either a local definition or a link to an available definition on the Internet.
-+
-Linked Data is graph-based in nature, that is it consistes of nodes and edges that can forever be linked to further conceps with defined relationships.

-Semantic Web::
-
-`http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/def/sm/terms-definitions/semantic-web`
-+
-The https://www.w3.org[World Wide Web Consortium]'s vision of an Internet-based web of Linked Data. 
-+
-Semantic Web is used to refer to something more than just the technologies and conventions of Linked Data; the term also encompases a specific set of interoperable data models - often called ontologies - published by the W3C, other standards bodies and some well-known companies.
-+
-The 'semantic' refers to the strongly-defined nature of the elements in the Semantic Web: the meaning of Semantic Web data is as precicely defined as any data can be.
-+

-=== Conventions
-
-All model diagrams use elements introduced in <<#fig-level0-key, Figure 1>>. These elements are defined in the RDF, RDFS and OWL ontologies, see <<OWL>> for mode details.
-
-All code snippets in this document, used to show formal and machine-readable versions of concepts, are expressed using the Turtle RDF syntax <<TTL>>.

 === Loc-I Project
 
-The Location Index (LOC-I) project, established in 2018, created a framework to provide a consistent way to seamlessly integrate spatial data from distributed sources. The target was Australian spatial data "of national significance", meaning most - initially all - of the data considered was Australian federal government data. Going forward, Loc-I is not limited to this sort of data, so other government data (states) may be included as well as non-government data.

 === Loc-I Technical Implementation 
 
-The technical implementation of Loc-I was based on Semantic Web <<semantic-web>> principles allowing for datasets to be published as Linked Data <<linked-data>> independently by data holders - different government departments, companies etc. - and consumed with minimal effort required for integration.

 The technical implementation relied on a _Loc-I Ontology_, the main Loc-I model, multiple _Background Models_, fundamental, standards, data models that the Loc-I Ontology depended on, and, for some datasets, _Dataset Models_ of their content that spefialise the Loc-I Ontology.
