Ontology Development for Interoperability of Observation Data

The Ontology registry system is developed to collect, manage and compare ontological information for integrating global observation data. Data sharing and data service such as support of metadata deign, structuring of data contents, support of text mining are applied for better use of data as data interoperability. Semantic network dictionary and gazetteers are constructed as a trans-disciplinary dictionary. Ontological information are added to the system by digitalizing text based dictionaries, developing “knowledge writing tool” for experts, and extracting semantic relations from authoritative documents with natural language processing technique. The system is developed to collect lexicographic ontology and geographic ontology.
