VINE: Vocabulary Integration Environment

Formerly a standalone application, the VINE tool has been completely rewritten as a web application and integrated in the MMI Ontology Registry and Repository (ORR).

About VINE 1.4

carueda — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 21:13:16 -0700

BioPortal 2.0

carynn — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 09:58:20 -0700

BioPortal allows users to browse, upload, download, search, comment on, and create mappings for ontologies.

Users can browse and explore individual ontologies by navigating either a tree structure or an animated graphical view. Users can also view mappings and ontology metadata, and download ontologies.

Additionally, users who are signed in may also submit a new ontology to the library. All submissions to the library are reviewed.

BODC Parameter Ontology Project

mhug — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 20:31:00 -0800

The BODC Parameter Discovery Vocabulary (PDV) is a controlled list of over 300 terms for identifying categories of oceanographic metadata. This is currently mapped to the 18,000+ term BODC Parameter Usage Vocabulary, an internationally renowned dictionary for describing data values.

Candidate Vocabularies

5/8 Draft List of Candidate Vocabularies (organized by prospective participant-affiliation)

Is there a clear base vocabulary among these? IOOS variable list is the most prominent so far.
Will need to try to acquire definitions along with the terms in the vocabulary files, if at all possible. As well, should get participants to identify the vocabulary source (e.g., IOOS vocabulary list) if they are borrowing terms.
Totals: 17+ different vocabularies

DMAC reps from the RCOOSes (polled, but need more responses)

International Coastal Atlas Network Workshop 3 and European Environment Agency Conference on Coastal Atlas Development

deepseadawn — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 22:05:35 -0700

Start: 07/07/2008 - 00:54

End: 07/11/2008 - 00:54

Experts will gather this summer to influence the further development of coastal web atlases for coastal zone management at an international coastal/ocean mapping and informatics workshop and European conference, scheduled back-to-back to take place on 7-10 July 2008 at the European Environment Agency (EEA) in Copenhagen, Denmark.

ITSC Ontologies

kwalz — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 17:54:00 -0800

The Information Technology and Systems Center (ITSC), at University of Alabama in Huntsville, is building ontologies for specialized domains and software tools that use a number of ontologies. The ITSC is a partner in the NSF information technology research project LEAD (Linked Environments for Atmospheric Discovery). They created an ontology that provides semantic metadata for data sets and serves as an educational service, knowledge resource and community reference.

Mapping Issues

ngalbraith — Sun, 19 Mar 2006 06:36:00 -0800

Mapping Approach

The Sensors Team was unable to identify an existing comprehensive ontology for sensors used by the marine science community. A substantially complete sensor vocabulary has been compiled at GCMD, and this was chosen as our basis vocabulary. This list includes many definitions and links to examples. For our purposes, we needed to reorganize it into a more heirarchical and consistent structure.

This document lists all the mappings of ontologies made available through the MMI site. It is updated automatically from the ontologies themselves (so do not edit this page).

NetCDF Attribute Convention for Dataset Discovery

kwalz — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 21:43:13 -0800

From website:

The netCDF Group at Unidata has recommended netCDF attributes for data discovery. Many of these attributes correspond to general discovery metadata content, so they are available in many metadata standards. This page includes the Unidata crosswalk to THREDDS and adds the crosswalk to ISO 19115-2. Note that the attribute names link to the Unidata definitions.
