Designing an Ontology for E-Research: The MyExperiment Model

This document presents an overview of the design and implementation of an ontology for the social virtual research environment myExperiment. It explores the concept of research objects (ROs) and their role in scientific discourse. Key components include managing and sharing research objects, supporting a social model, and providing an open, extensible platform for research actions. The ontology aligns with existing frameworks like SWAN and emphasizes the management lifecycle of research entities, including workflows and datasets. Future work focuses on evolving this ontology to better support research, facilitating collaboration and knowledge sharing.

  1. An ontology for e-Research David De Roure dder@ecs.soton.ac.uk David R Newman drn@ecs.soton.ac.uk Sean Bechhofer sean.bechhofer@manchester.ac.uk SWASD Workshop 26 October 2009

  2. Overview • What is myExperiment? • Designing an ontology for myExperiment • What are Research Objects (ROs)? • How does this fit into Scientific Discourse? • What’s Next?

  3. myExperiment: A Social VRE • Manage & Share Research Objects • Support a Social Model • Provide an Open Extensible Environment • Provide a Platform to Action Research
