Understanding the impact of climate change and humans on biodiversity requires the retrieval and integration of heterogeneous data sets for the generation of models that provide insights not possible with a single model. Scientists invest a significant amount of time collecting and manually preprocessing data for the generation of such models. The Earth Life and Semantic Web (ELSEWeb) project aims to create a semantic-based, open-source cyberin frastructure to automate the ingestion of data by models. This paper describes the ontologies at the backbone of ELSEWeb that provide semantic bridges between environmental data sources and species distribution models.
