  13. Georesearch Challenges and Semantic Relations Semantic relations Workflows & vocabularies Semantic relations Science domain related concepts Technical driven concepts & metadata Culture of scientific work producing Research object exponential growing volume of data and information Complex Systems 1 2 1http://www.emc.com/collateral/analyst-reports/diverse-exploding-digital-universe.pdf 2http://www.geosc.psu.edu/~dbice/DaveSTELLA/climate/climate%20system.png

  14. Geoscience Objectivesand Semantic Web Idea • Modeling the world of geoscience knowledge generation • Integration of multi-domain data and information for the research of complex geo-systems • Discovery, retrieval, reuse and share of data, information and knowledge • Combining and aligning of data and information using controlled vocabularies and inference based rules • Putting the content of data and information in to the appropriate inner and outer context, incl. literature (DOI) • Integration of user generated context information and knowledge using Web 2.0 technology • Visualization of knowledge concepts and semantic relations

  15. Requirements for Modeling andDetecting of Semantic Coherence • Describe the content and context of data in the right way => (standardized) metadata • Design the metadata in the right structure => concept map/RDF-triples/ontology model • Find/use the right terms for addressing the properties of data/metadata => controlled vocabulary • Open/adopt the ontology for the chance of data and metadata interoperability => merging/alignment of domain-centered ontologies

  16. Visualization of Semantic Relations • Tool for modeling and representation of concepts/ontolgies • Detect entities and features • Find relations between entities • Estimate properties of relations • Support for interactive retrieval applications • User guidance => navigation and exploration • Interactive presentation of content and context related features and relations • Tool for representation of retrieval/reasoning results (knowledge) • Presentation of highly complex correlations • Reduction of information overload • Supply of visual links to related extended information

  17. DIF Metadata Classes *in addition to GCMD • Data Product Type = „Parent DIF Document“, Version 9.x => FGDC/OGC/ISO 19115 compliant (incomplete) • Instrument (Sensor) = Instrument DIF => OGC SWE • Platform (Source) = Platform DIF => OGC SWE • Project (Campaign, Mission) = Project DIF • Data Center = Data Center DIF • Institution*

  28. Conclusions and Further Tasks • Visualization of ontologies is a suitable approach for knowledge representation and management • We have a preliminary ISDC ontology model • There are detailed ideas/use cases for semantic- based ISDC retrieval application similar to eyePlorer • Finishing the ISDC ontology modelling process • Finding/filling the semantic gaps, both features/ properties and appropriate values • Ontology alignment/merching (very difficult cognitive task), e.g. DC, FOAF, SWEET, … • Transforming XML metadata files and rules into OWL and SWRL files according to the ontology model

  29. Challenges(from WGISS 24) • Sustainable funding of human, technology and technical resources for operational data and information services • Developing/Using of a philosophy for sustainable data and information management at the GFZ • Providing a high available (long-term) archive and services for data, information and knowledge • Education campaign for scientists related to ESSI1 • ESSI1 must become important research domain within German geosciencework, like in many EU countries, Japan and U.S. 1 Earth and Space Science Informatics CEOS Working Group on Information Systems and Services, WGISS-29, Bonn, May 17 - 21, 2010

  33. Semantic-basedUse Cases for GGP- Fuzzy Logic is Focus of Use Cases- • Show all SG stations which are in operation and delivering calibrated gravity data and additional trustful environmental data in a certain time and space frame • Give all earthquake SG data for stations which also have collocated or nearby located permanent GPS observations • Show all geoscientific projects which use GGP data and information for the validation of global gravity field models as well as other global geophysical models • Connect GGP gravity data with relevant and free available Web information (Web pages, literature, catalogs …) • Network and visualize user generated context (tagging, blogs, mashups, social navigation data) with GGP data

  34. Usage and Benefit of Semantic Relations • Integration of different domain-related data and information to answer domain-specific questions • Re-usage and combination of (tailored) domain-specific data and information for inter-domain complex questions • Considering and benefit from different cultures and workflows of research approaches • Connection of data and related science publications • Combination of knowledge of data providers (concept and controlled vocabularies) and data users (folksonomies) • Bridge from hardcore science results to open societal knowledge

  35. ISDC and GFZ • ISDC is even smaller group now, only 2 persons with support from System and DB administrator • New head of the Geodesy and Remote Sensing department (coming from university) • New director of the GFZ (coming from a technical university) • Interested in more transparency • Common data policy within the GFZ • New mechanism for funding of IT infrastructure • Improvement of long-term archive facilities • … but new requirements are coming from everybody CEOS Working Group on Information Systems and Services, WGISS-29, Bonn, May 17 - 21, 2010
