  1. Enabling Semantic Ecoblogging and Bioblitzes Cynthia Sims Parr, T. David Wang, Joel Sachs, Lushan Han, Timothy Finin SpotterFirefox extension for adding observation data in RDF to blogs OWL, RDF, and the Semantic Web OWL (Web Ontology Language) and the related RDF (Resource Description Framework) are XML-style languages designed to represent the semantics of data. Web documents in these formats can be sensibly interpreted, discovered, aggregated, and integrated. Write a blog entry or post a photo Fill out Spotter form Link to the RDF The problem with Ecoblogs and Bioblitzes People currently create Eco-blogs: stoies about wildlife they have seen or observations they’ve made. Similarly, citizen and scientists work together on Bioblitzes to comprehensively report as many species as possible from an area. Currently, none of this information is easily discovered or integrated. . RDF123Publishing spreadsheet data in RDF Create or link to a map file ( to ontology terms) Make spreadsheet Generate RDF Our solution We developed and have tested two tools that aim to make it easier for individual scientists and citizens to convert their information to RDF and OWL. Of 1200 Blogger BioBlitz observations, 47 of them were of species defined as “of concern” by USFWS.
