Explore the ontology supporting e-Research within a social networking framework, focusing on managing research entities as encapsulated Research Objects. Align with established e-Research ontologies such as SWAN and evolve the framework to better support Research Objects, enhancing myExperiment's management capabilities.

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
Overview • What is myExperiment? • Designing an ontology for myExperiment • What are Research Objects (ROs)? • How does this fit into Scientific Discourse? • What’s Next?
myExperiment: A Social VRE • Manage & Share Research Objects • Support a Social Model • Provide an Open Extensible Environment • Provide a Platform to Action Research

Conclusions and Future Work • An ontology to support e-Research within Social Networking framework • An overview for the management of research entities in a encapsulated manner as Research Objects • Align with other e-Research ontologies (e.g. SWAN) • Evolve the ontology to better support Research Objects • Enabling myExperiment as a whole to manage them
