Semantic Web

From Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)
  • Welcome to the Semantic Web Cluster activity

Cluster Task Activities

Data-type and Service Ontology

Part of the cluster activity involves developing a community-based set of ontologies for use in
Earth Sciences. The first step is to address data-types and services (web services).
See recent discussions at http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Breakout_Sessions-Day_1#Technical_Breakout_2b_-_Developing_an_Ontology_for_Services

Tools we will use

[Cmap - the Concept Mapping Tool]

[Protege - ontology editor - download]
