Designing and verifying application schema by applying standard element for managing ocean observation data

Abstract

There is a need to study the OWL-based application schema to ensure interoperable data exchange between ocean-related institutions, and supporting researcher's intelligent data search. In this study, the RDF vocabularies are defined on the basis of the elements derived through element decision study for managing scientific data in the field of ocean observation. The application schema was verified by using the temperature profile data of CTD data observed in the 'Chukchi' sea selected from the data provided by the National Oceanographic Data Center of the US. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
