“…use of remotely sensed data…lagged for many years. The
reasons for this have little to do with the sophistication of
remote sensing technology. Rather it has to do more with the
ability to store, manage, access and use the massive data
produced by satellites, radar facilities and other remote sensing
instruments. Without advanced information processing, it would
take decades to compile and analyze the incredible amounts of
information that produced by many of these instruments.”

Knowledge Representation,
Semantics and Ontologies
The Semantic Web
Extend the current web with “knowledge” and
“meaning” for
Better searching (that is, better answers to current searches)
Automated software tools that process web information
(comparison shopping, making appointments, and so on)
Proposes a new form of web content, which uses
ontologies and knowledge representation techniques
The Semantic Web [Sci. Am., May ‘01,
Berners-Lee]
“Mom needs to see a specialist
for a series of physical therapy
sessions – can you take her?”
Find physical therapist

schedule

Semantic Web Architecture
(RDF)
The Resource Description Framework (RDF),
which is a language to:
Define standard ontologies
 Annotate web-pages with Semantic-Web content

Ultimately, tools … to exploit semantic
mark up
Web-crawlers, search engines, personal agents

Serves as a common set of terms (a vocabulary) with

SEEK and the Semantic Web
We want to build technology using Semantic-Web
standards to …
… explore the use of semantics to help scientists
deal with heterogeneity
Define standard ecological ontologies
 Automate dataset and analytic-step discovery, exchange,
and integration
 Help researchers construct and reuse scientific
workflows, for example, for ecological modeling

Incorporating sensor processing
1. Build a generic image and signal processing knowledge base
2. Develop actors for these functions
3. Build knowledge bases for domains of interest, and relate
them to the generic
• ENM pipelines
• NEON competition
• Hazards (fire, flood, drought, disease)
4. Develop processing pipelines
5. Identify sensor (image and signal) data and analytical
resources, convert them to web services
6. When EcoGrid is ready, register them as nodes
