Overview • GOAL General decissions • Components / Links • Usage • Guidance • Whatismissing
GOAL of EnvThes Establish semantics Resolve semantics Semantic annotation of data Link Datum Concept Access data Manage Data Data Add meaning to data and metadata
Database A Mapping A Database B Mapping B ……………… Database X Mapping X
General Decissions • Follow semantic web standards – use SKOS/RDF • Be compatible with GEMET / AGROVOC /EARTh / EUROVOC, others • Be able to establish links to other knowledge bases • Be able to establish links to data
SKOS/RDF Schema exactMatch closeMatch broader relatedMatch related concept resource broaderMatch narrower prefLabel narrowerMatch altLabel Definition scopeNote collection
General decissions • Have a primary language • Any concept has at least one preferred label in English • Any concept should have at least one definition in English • Preferred labels and definitions in other languages are translations
General decissions • LTER-Metadata system needs 1 source of knowledge representations • Every concept has to be in this one source, even when it is imported from another source. • Concepts imported from other sources shall have a pointer back to the origin

Link from data to EnvThes The link is established as pointer filled into the database https://secure.umweltbundesamt.at/enveurope/page/ENVEUROPE.V_REF_SUBST/TOC Semantic Annotation: Good service is needed:
SPARQL QUERY over multiple sources SELECT DISTINCT ?substance ?substnam ?EnvThes_id ?term ?def WHERE {?substance a enveurope:SUBST. ?substance enveurope:SUBST_SUBST ?substnam. ?substance enveurope:ENVTHES_ID ?EnvThes_id.

Usability is cucial • Ifthe autocomplete functionswere complicated, youwould not use them
Overview • GOAL General decissions • Components / Links • Usage • Guidance • Whatismissing
Guidance • Bad experiences with complicated guidance (SERONTO) simple guidance for EnvThes. • Now thinking about a simple voting system without discussion platform. • Discussion platform can be outside (WIKI)
Overview • GOAL General decissions • Components / Links • Usage • Guidance • Whatismissing
What is missing • Versioning • Voting system • More relations small ontologies • … propably a lot of properties for linguistics
