1. Multiuse of Oceanograpghic Data on the Semantic Web Barry Feng Tao Jon Campbell Gwyn Griffiths National Oceanography Centre Southampton, University of Southampton • The Semantic Web • Real-time Data gathering and display • Put Data into oceanographic context • Web connected smart sensor/instruments • Oceanography Resources • Ferry box • In operation on scientific ships as well as Ships of Opportunity to include Smart sensors for supporting oceanography research activities and regularly collecting data from ocean sensors and submitting to BODC data archive • Sensor and Platform, Autosub6000, Measurement Dataset, Operation and process, Personnel and expertise • XML • Designed to carry data, not to display data • Tags not defined • URI • Unique identifier, often URL • Use the namespace concept • RDF • Triple <subject, predicate, object> • Namespace references to ontology • OWL • Ontology Language for the Web • OWL-lite, OWL-DL, OWL-Full • Not designed for Human reading • Ontology • Domain conceptualisation ( concepts and relations) Value-added cake • The Knowledge Life Cycle (OE  SA  KR) • Ontology Engineering ( conceptualisation of the oceanography domain) • Protege with OWL plug-in • SensorML, BODC Vocabulary, MMI device ontology • Semantic Annotation (enriching oceanography resources with ontology) • Protégé • Collaborative Ocean • Knowledge Reuse (managing on the semantic web) • Protégé • RDF triples • Semantic web enabled applications OE and SA using Protégé Agile Knowledge Engineering and Reuse in OntoWiki Collaborative Ocean is an initiative under Ocean2025 technology theme to establish a semantic web framework on which oceanographic resources are semantically enriched and published to facilitate multi-use of ocean data and multi-disciplinary collaboration, with W3C, BODC, Oceanography centres and Universities .
