StarGazer: A Semantic Application Alvaro Graves, James Michaelis, Joshua Shinavier and Giovanni Thenstead Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Troy, NY, USA Agenda Motivation Benefits of Semantic technologies Implementation Validation Conclusions Motivation Scenario An amateur astronomer is searching for a star in the field. She forgot her star charts or they don't have the exact information she is looking for.... But... She has her cellphone/iPhone/etc. She has Internet access. Goals we want to accomplish Web-based application Interoperable Extensible Use cases (I) Select all the stars from certain area of the sky and show their name, apparent magnitude, distance and spectral type ordered descending by apparent magnitude. Export (and publish) a geolocation. Obtain the information related to certain star. AT THE END INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING SLIDES Conclusions StarGazer is an amateur astronomer assistant It take advantage of semantic technologies, such as OWL to allow interoperability The ontology created is extensible as well as the application Future work Add user information, such as notes and comments Reasoning for extended queries Possibility of adding information about planets and other celestial objects Using other datasources Redevelop using AJAX, making a nicer interface Thanks for your time
