  2. Invasive Species Invasive species cost the U.S. economy over $138 billion per year [1]. By various estimates, these species contribute to the decline of 35 to 46 percent of U.S. endangered and threatened species The invasive species problem is growing, as the number of pathways of invasion increases. [1] Pimental et al. 2000 Environmental and economic costs associated with non-indigenous species in the United States. Bioscience 50:53-65.

  3. ELVIS: Ecosystem Localization, Visualization, and Information System Oreochromis niloticus Nile tilapia Bacteria Microprotozoa Amphithoe longimana Caprella penantis Cymadusa compta Lembos rectangularis Batea catharinensis Ostracoda Melanitta Tadorna tadorna Food web constructor Species list constructor ? . . .

  4. Food Web Constructor Predict food web links using database and taxonomic reasoning. In a new estuary, Nile Tilapia could compete with ostracods (green) to eat algae. Predators (red) and prey (blue) of ostracods may be affected

  5. Food Web Constructor generates possible links

  6. Evidence provider gives details

  7. Caribbean Reef Food Web

  8. Animal Diversity Web http://www.animaldiversity.org geographic range habitats physical description reproduction lifespan behavior and trophic info conservation status Triples “Esox lucius” hasMaxMass “1.4 kg” “Esox lucius” isSubclassOf “Esox” “Esox” eats “Actinopterygii” ETHANEvolutionary Trees and Natural History ontology

  9. Swoogle: Motivation • (Google + Web) has made us all smarter • something similar is needed by people and software agents for finding information on the semantic web

  10. What are body masses of fishes that eat fishes? Swoogle Triple Shop . . . leaving out the FROM clause

  11. specify dataset

  12. RDF documents were found that might have useful data

  13. We’ll select them all and add them to the current dataset.

  14. We’ll run the query against this dataset to see if the results are as expected.

  15. The results can be produced in any of several formats

  16. Results http://sparql.cs.umbc.edu/tripleshop2/

  17. Looks like a useful dataset. Let’s save it and also materialize it the TS triple store.

  18. The Glory of the Semantic Web • Who eats the invasive plants of California? • There will never be a final version of “the” ontology. How easy will it be to evolve? • Our understanding of data changes as time goes by. Can the metadata change to reflect our new understanding of the data?

  19. I Am Not An Anarchist

  20. XMDR
