Vocabulary

SSTIM

Sensory Stimulation Ontology

SSTIM is an open OWL and SKOS vocabulary for sensory stimulation. It mints identifiers for stimulation techniques, stimuli and their parameters, delivery media and body placements, exposure and safety boundaries, session records, and the evidence assessments attached to a claim. It exists so that auditory, visual, tactile and cross-modal stimulation protocols can be described and exchanged in one vocabulary instead of per-study prose, and it is used by researchers, tool builders and the W3C Sensory Stimulation Vocabulary Community Group.
