Practical interoperability across semantic stores of data for blah blah

The road to TraitBank In second year of 2 year project: Marine Expert Audience Conservation science Virtuoso triple store Beta testing NOW for public launch early datasets with 2.8 million data records for 520,000 taxa Harvest, display, curate, search, download MOST DATA NOT BORN SEMANTIC From text mining From literature tables From data papers From databases

Term URIs from existing ontologies Statistics from Semantic Science Integrated Ontology Units Ontology Environments Ontology EnvO Gene Ontology ETHAN (Natural history, with Joel Sachs) Vertebrate Trait Ontology Plant Trait Ontology Where necessary: request terms Last resort: create provisional terms with Of course, also using unique EOL taxon identifiers, which we’ve mapped to identifiers of other projects e.g. those registered in bioportal.bioontologies.orgbioportal.bioontologies.org

Known URIs tool Only light reasoning so far– just to infer inverse relationships like “eats” and “is eaten by”
