 I would like this device ontology project to become the acknowledged starting point for work on marine device ontologies, 
 and for further work in this niche to be linked to or combined with this effort.  
 (And I also want a nice 'device types' data entry/search form.)

Working with data from various instruments and being part of a group that designs and builds instruments, I see the value of this work from two different perspectives; a standard approach to instrument specifications will be useful for both.
