Ecoinformatics Project: Semantics Management and Semantics Services

新兴的语义技术使我们能够以新的方式关注环境和健康概念及其相互关系。该项目将开发一个扩展的元数据注册表原型，用环境、健康和地理元数据填充它，开发用于查询和测试可用性和性能的语义服务。注册中心将支持分类法、本体、受控词汇表、语义关系和高级数据元素规范的集成，所有这些都在水信息的上下文中。这个多学科项目将通过国际协调的研究工作联盟来开展。这项工作将导致标准和技术的进步，以解决语义技术的局限性，这些局限性需要随着法律法规和语义使用的发展而发展。这项工作将在协调几个生态信息学项目方面提供技术领导，帮助研究人员进行合作。该项目开发的技术、技术和设计将立即应用于环境和医疗保健社区。该领域还可能对数据共享产生影响。结果将通过注册表的开放源码软件和ISO/IEC标准11179传播。

Emerging semantic technologies are enabling us to focus on environmental and health concepts and their interrelationships in new ways. This project will develop an extended metadata registry prototype, populate it with environmental, health and geographical metadata, develop semantic services for querying and test the usability and performance. The registry will support the integration of taxonomies, ontologies, controlled vocabularies, semantic relations and advance data element specifi9cation, all I the context of water information. This multi-disciplinary project will work through a coalition of research efforts coordinated internationally. The work should lead to advances in both standards and technologies that address the limitations in semantic technologies that need to evolve with laws and regulations as well as semantic usage. The effort will provide technical leadership in coordinating several ecoinformatics projects, helping researchers to collaborate. The techniques, technologies and designs developed by this project will hae immediate application within the environment and healthcare communities. The area also has potential for impact on data sharing. Results will be disseminated through open source software for the registry and through the ISO/IEC Standard 11179.
