STCI: A Semantic eScience Framework (SESF): Facilitating Next Generation Data Intensive Science

该合同由2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）提供资金，项目将实现可配置和可扩展的语义eScience框架。Con& # 64257;配置需要进行一些研究，以适应不同层次的语义表达能力和来自用例的用户需求。在社区环境中，对语义编码（即本体）采用模块化的方法是实现可扩展性的最佳方式，也就是说，在一个本体框架中，特定的应用程序一直到社区都可以根据自己的需要扩展语义。在过去的几年中，语义技术不断发展，新的工具不断出现。这个项目的一部分工作将是在新框架中适应这些进步，并为（某些）技术进步制定一个可持续的软件路径。除了对当前数据科学接口的概括之外，该项目还将包括一个上层接口，适合于信息交换中心、和/或教育门户、数字图书馆和其他学科使用。

This award is made using funds made available by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)Project will implement configurable and extensible semantic eScience framework. Configuration will require some research into accommodating different levels of semantic expressivity and user requirements from use cases. Extensibility is best achieved in a modular approach to the semantic encodings (i.e. ontologies) performed in a community setting, i.e. an ontology framework into which specific applications all the way up to communities can extend the semantics for their needs. Over the past few years, semantic technologies have evolved and new tools are appearing. Part of the effort in this pro ject will be to accommodate these advances in the new framework and lay out a sustainable software path for the (certain) technical advances. In addition to a generalization of the current data science interface, project will include an upper-level interface suitable for use by clearinghouses, and/or educational portals, digital libraries, and other disciplines.
