文摘

Managing research data often requires the creation or reuse of specialised metadata schemas to satisfy the metadata requirements of each research group. Ontologies present several advantages over metadata schemas. In particular, they can be shared and improved upon more easily, providing the flexibility required to establish relationships between datasets and concepts from distinct domains. In this paper, we present a preliminary experiment on the use of ontologies for the description of biodiversity datasets. With a strong focus on the dynamics of individual species, species diversity, biological communities and ecosystems, the Predictive Ecology research group of CIBIO has adopted the INSPIRE European recommendation as the primary tool for metadata compliance across its research data description. We build upon this experience to model the BIOME ontology for the biodiversity domain. The ontology combines concepts from INSPIRE, matching them against the ones defined in the Dublin Core, FOAF and CERIF ontologies. Dendro, a prototype for collaborative data description, uses the ontology to provide an environment where biodiversity metadata records are available as Linked Open Data.
