GENERAL COMMENT
In order to better understand and use the database, the quality or optimization of the database design must be sacrificed a little, giving more weight to its logical understanding.
The concepts of the WFD: Ecological status SW, Chemical status SW, Quantitative status GW, Chemical status GW should have a similar treatment in the database.
In the case of GW the equivalent classes should be GWPollutant for GW chemical status and an equivalent class for GW quantitative status that doen't exist as the information related to quantitative satatus is directly stored in the class GroundWaterBody.
For SWB the class QualityElement for SW EcoStatus should be equivalent to SWPrioritySubstance for SW ChemStatus.
The design is not incorrect but really difficult to be undestood. Some 'simetry' in the design of aspects related to SWECO, SWChem, GWQUA, GWChem will be welcomed.
