5. e-Infrastructure 5 Elecronic platform operated by a responsible entity offering an open set of basic enabling services (including access to resources) to a distributed Community of Practice. By exploiting these shared services the members of the Community of Practice realise economies of scale. BlueHackathon, Heraklion July 1-2 2013

17. 17 The Biodiversity Research Environment VRE Purpose: VRE is equipped with a service allowing to discover species data (including occurrence points) from various data providers including: GBIF, OBIS, WoRMS, WoRDS, ITIS, CoL, IRMNG. Target audience: Marine biologists Species Discovery

18. iMarine internals A closer look into the facilities of: Visualisations Semantic analysis Information Retrieval BlueHackathon, Heraklion July 1-2 2013 18

19. BlueHackathon, Heraklion July 1-2 2013 19 Large amounts of data in a human perceivable form: Map based / Non map-based Original / derived Visualisations

20. Aims to provide a semantic based infrastructure for marine living resources services integration Bridge the gap between communities Link distributed data across community boundaries Semantic Data Analysis BlueHackathon, Heraklion July 1-2 2013 20

21. Realize semantic support in 3 actions… 1.Harmonization of foreign coding systems 2.Semantic annotation of digital resources 3.Information retrieval based on semantic search 21 BlueHackathon, Heraklion July 1-2 2013

22. Data retrieval facilities Support index and search facilities over heterogeneous datasources Provide a unified view of the results “User-friendly” search – Enrich results with semantic facilities (X-search) – Provide better ways to explore the results and datasources 22 BlueHackathon, Heraklion July 1-2 2013

23. TLO-related mappings BlueHackathon, Heraklion July 1-2 2013 SpeciesActivities Eco systems extracted factual knowledge (network) “Categorical data” (Thesauri) extent the TLO ontology Sources and metadata Factual Background Knowledge / “Authorities” TLO Ontology relationships, language neutral, global terms, multilingual, domain specific curated evolving! domain information 23

24. Fisheries Linked Open Data : FLOD Network of relationships integrating domains of marine species with: – geo-spatial, geo-administrative, statistics, fishery legislation, fishery techniques, fishery vessels and ports. Enables users to formulate complex requests leveraging cross-domain connections: – Amount of fish caught in 2008 in Danish Exclusive Economic Zone by vessels that practice fishing with traps? – Catch statistics reported in FAO subdivisions intersecting the marine areas sovereigned by Denmark? – Countries interested in the expiration of the legal agreements involving FAO fishing area 18 ending in year 2012? – Species distributed in marine areas exploited by Lefkada island?
