An Ontological Framework to Support Provenance in a Virtual Research Environment Edoardo Pignotti University of Aberdeen
ourSpaces VRE • Help researchers to manage tasks involved in carrying out research • Provenance is crucial in order to support transparency and accountability of the research process • Semantic Web Technologies to support management of knowledge, resources, people and provenance
Lessons Learnt from Deployment • Very comprehensive ontologies BUT unwillingness to provide metadata • Few required mandatory fields • Policies for project-/user-specific requirements • Manage changes in user requirements • Extendable provenance/metadata framework • Hot deployment of new policies • For more info see: Edwards et al. 2012 - ourSpaces - Design and Deployment of a Semantic Virtual Research Environment. ISWC 2012 (in use Track)
