Introduction • Ontology • Is a collection of well defined terms, which belong to a particular domain. • Shows relations between these terms. • Makes data search intelligent by adding a layer of indirection • GEON Data Registration • Data Registration • Item Level Registration • Item Detail Level Registration Dataset USGS Geology Time Scale Ontology Mesozoic Item Detail Level Jr. Tri Jurassic Cretaceous Triassic Jurr Global Legend #4DB47E #7EC31C #67C387 www.geongrid.org

Query Portlet Capabilities • Datasets are queried for concepts instead of keywords. • Generated result sets can be downloaded. • Result sets can be saved in user’s work space. • Generation of integrated maps. www.geongrid.org

Future Goals • Improve and Enhance query performance • Save generated result sets. • Index the query itself, so that next time the query doesn’t need to be executed but the stored result set is given back. • Generated result sets can be intelligently associated with ontologies • Support spatial queries instead of queries based on pre-selected datasets. www.geongrid.org
