The ontology of Cerrado wood plant dynamics was created in order to represent the set of concepts about the dynamics, that is, changes over time of the wood vegetation structure, of Cerrado. Ccon describes the main parameters used to measure the changes, such as mortality rate and recruitment rate.

The Ccon is an OWL2 ontology according to the W3C recommendations [6], developed to represent the scientific knowledge about vegetation ecology focused to describe the dynamics of wood plants in the Brazilian Cerrado Domain. This ontology will be part of the GeoLinked Data Ontology network to enrich the web of data with geospatial information of the Cerrado Biome, especially with regard the wood plant dynamics. It aims to store data and collect information about biodiversity, composition and wood plant dynamics, to manage, integrate and query data about Cerrado plant community, and search for changes in Cerrado species populations over time. An interesting example can be the possibility of data integration from different scientific studies over different locations. Once the data available on line of studies carried out in different places can be integrated, geolocated, linked with qualitative models and, finally, inferences can be performed. [from homepage]

Mappings from records in Bioregistry to external registries comprises the metaregistry. This resource has 3 mappings to external registries with 2 unique external prefixes.

A provider turns a local unique identifiers from a resource into a URI. Many providers are also resolvable as URLs (i.e., they can be used in a web browser).

The local unique identifier CampoCerrado is used to demonstrate the providers available for Cerrado Concepts Ontology. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.
