Presentation Transcript

  1. A Framework for Earth Science Search Interface Development Designing and Implementing S2S Eric Rozell, Tetherless World Constellation, RPI

  2. Outline • S2S Overview • Motivations & Use Cases • Research & Development Methodology • Framework Architecture • Prototype Implementation • Results & Future Work

  3. S2S Overview • Supports reuse of user interface components (“widgets”) • Uniform search interface for semantically-annotated web services • Applies ontology to describe the application framework

  4. S2S Overview

  5. Motivations • Incentivize compliance to web service standards • Assist data management communities in search interface development • Lay foundations for federated search and data integration • Enable community development

  6. Use Cases

  7. Research Methodology Fox et al., 2009

  8. Development Methodology ExView (Maffei et al., 2007) and 4DGeoBrowser (Lerner and Maffei, 2001)

  9. Framework Ontology

  10. Framework Architecture

  11. Prototype Implementation Technology: Data Resources:

  12. Results • Extensible Framework • Add web service standards • Add search and analysis widgets • Add data services • Enables community development • Data managers • UI designers • Uniform search interface • Customizable, reusable

  13. Future Work • Implement additional web service standards • e.g., SAWSDL, SPARQL services, OGC standards • S2S as a discovery interface • S2S as a federated search environment • S2S evaluations (usability, extensibility) • VSTO Evaluation Metrics (McGuinness et al., 2007)
