An ontology about events in astronomical space.

See also the Ontology Requirements Specification Document (purchase link coming soon).

The SEO formally represents occurrences in outer space. This includes collisions of objects in Earth orbit, the orbital maneuvers of spacecraft, etc.

• In-progress as circumstances permit. Subject to revision.
• As a unfunded personal project since inception, continued development is dependent on circumstances. Formal support is needed to complete and sustain development to realize the full project vision. The vision is ambitious, multidisciplinary and detailed. Contact the author to formally support the project in some way. Donations are welcome at the below web-links.
• ACTIVELY NEEDING: financial support, employer support, stable environment with resources to development and continue learning, etc.
• Desired as my PhD or other graduate project

As an unfunded personal project, you can help by offerring financial support, employment opportunities, graduate study opportunities whereby this can be part of my thesis or projects, co-authorship on papers or proposal, mentorship, voluntary technical expertise/servies for desired functionalities of my project, relevant datasets to apply the ontology to, and to be a user of the ontology(s).
