  1. Implementing a semantic mediator to integrate flower-visiting records from SA natural history museums Willem Coetzer1, Deshendran Moodley2, and Aurona Gerber3 CAIR (Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research) University of KwaZulu-Natal (Durban) / CSIR (Pretoria), South Africa 1{w.coetzer@saiab.ac.za} 2 {moodleyd37@ukzn.ac.za} 3{agerber@csir.co.za}

  2. Potential to automate construction of interaction networks (flower-visiting networks and pollination networks) From: Burkle, L.A, Marlin, J.C. and Knight, T.M. 2013. Plant-pollinator interactions over 120 years: loss of species, co-occurrence and function. Science 339 (6127): 1611-1615

  3. Objectives • Standardize concepts in the domain of flower-visiting • Semantic enrichment • Semantic mediation • Automate the construction of interaction networks • Query, inferencing, analysis

  4. Relevant data attributes from the three data-stores

  5. Unstructured descriptions of insect behaviour

  6. Hierarchy of classes subsumed by fv:PlantUtilizationEvent

  7. Linking the data to classes in the ontology

  8. Linking fv:PlantUtilizationEvent and subclasses to dsw:Occurrence fv:PlantVisitorOccurrence fv:HostPlantOccurrence dsw:occurrenceOf fv:HostPlant IndividualOrganism fv:PlantVisitor IndividualOrganism bfo:bearer_of fv:PlantVisitorRole fv:HostPlantRole bfo:realized_by fv:PlantVisitingInteraction bfo:has_part fv:PlantVisitingEvent
