  2. Data Entropy Time of publication Specific details General details Retirement or career change Information Content Accident Death Time (Michener et al. 1997)

  3. What Users Really Want… Ecosystems, Biocomplexity Contaminant Transport Marine Microorganisms Seismic Structure Response

  4. SEEK Overview

  5. Morpho

  6. SEEK Science Environment for Ecological Knowledge • EcoGrid • Access to environmental data • Analysis and Modeling System • Modeling scientific workflows • Semantic Mediation System • “Smart” data discovery and integration • Knowledge Representation • Classification and Nomenclature • Biodiversity and Ecological Analysis and Modeling

  7. Lotka-Volterra Predator Prey Model

  8. SEEK EcoGrid • Integrate diverse data networks from ecology, biodiversity, and environmental sciences • Grid-standardized interfaces • Metadata-mediated data access (EML) • Computational access • Pre-defined analytical services • On-the-fly analytical services

  9. EcoGrid client interactions • Modes of interaction • Client-server • Fully distributed • Peer-to-peer • EcoGrid Registry • Node discovery • Service discovery • Aggregation services • Centralized access • Reliability • Data preservation

  10. Semantic Mediation • Label data with semantic types • Label inputs and outputs of analytical components with semantic types • Use reasoning engines to generate transformation steps • Beware analytical constraints • Use reasoning engine to discover relevant components Data Ontology Workflow Components

  11. Ecological ontologies • What was measured (e.g., biomass) • Type of measurement (e.g., energy) • Context of measurement (e.g., Psychotria limonensis) • How it was measured (e.g., dry weight)

  12. Growl Ontology Viewer Showing the Measurements Ontology

  13. The SEEK Prototype: Ecological Niche Modeling Model of niche in ecological dimensions precipitation temperature Projection back onto geography Invaded range prediction Geographic Space Ecological Space Biodiversity information … e.g., data from museum specimens ecological niche modeling occurrence points on native distribution Geospatial and remotely sensed data Results taken to integration with other data realms (e.g., human populations, public health, etc.) Native range prediction

  15. Future Scenarios Future scenarios based on general circulation models (GCMs) present diverse visions of global climate futures. The implications of these different futures for biodiversity are only now being explored…

  16. SEEK/Kepler Mammal-CC Project • Build pipelines for automated processing of CC/biodiversity analyses • Prototype application to mammals of Western Hemisphere • 2000-3000 species • 2 algorithms • 100+ models/species/algorithm • 500,000 – 1,000,000 models • Test large-scale implementation of Kepler • Provide a hemisphere-wide view of mammal diversity • Provide a massive comparison of CC implications as function of • region • clade • scenario • Enable many other parallel apps 2-3 dispersal scenarios 2 major evolutionary-computing algorithms (GA and NN) 15-20 GCM scenarios, including all IPCC scenarios

  17. Networking Biomedical Informatics Research Network CHESS
