The last week of my DataONE summer internship has been filled with exciting advances. I worked on adding more permafrost classes to the Arctic ECSO and pruned the new ENVO import. Mark and Margaret presented on ECSO at the Earth Science Information Partners meeting in Bloomington Indiana. The new ENVO Continue reading Week 9: Final Product Arctic ECSO
This week I finished duplicating all of the rdfs labels into hidden label for each term within ECSO. I also worked with Margaret O’Brian on the new ENVO import. We now have new polar terms within ECSO imported from ENVO these include the terms I mentioned last week and many Continue reading ECSO Arctic Update
This week I have been mainly focused on resolving issues with MIREOT imports. I checked all external import ontologies classes versus those within ECSO and found that on my Protégé these were importing correctly. However, following a screen share yesterday with Margaret we discovered that she is missing external ontology Continue reading Week 7: ECSO Imports Old and New
This week we had some major set backs. After speaking with Margaret O’Brian last week I realized that the version of ECSO I was opening on Protégé 5 was incomplete. The version of ECSO I was using did not properly import the external ontologies. Many of the terms I was Continue reading Week 6: Troubleshooting ECSO and Reevaluating Arctic ECSO
At the internshipmid-point and this week I dove into the construction of the Arctic ECSO ontology. Utilizing the previously created ontology and the list of ECSO relevant terms from the ADC search queries, I created 35 new classes and added over 70 annotations to preexisting classes within ECSO. One of Continue reading Arctic ECSO: Carbon Cycling Ontology Building
This week we had two goals 1) to further define our knowledge representation structure by going through the ECSO ontology and determining which custom annotations can be systematically replaced with standard SKOS elements and 2) to improve the thematic contents of interest within the ontology related to carbon cycling. For Continue reading Week 4: ECSO knowledge representation and carbon cycling incorporation
Moving into the third week of the project I pulled back a bit and did some background reading. The issue with the Protégé 5 ontology imports I decided was an issue stemming from my ignorance with regards to the software and terminology therein. To remedy this I read the book Continue reading Week 3: Protégé 5 and OWL
This week I began by going through the paper by Chapin et al., 2006 (doi:10.1007/s10021-005-0105-7) and pulled out terms to search on the DataOne site. I then queried those terms using the R dataone package and query code. The query code had to be slightly altered since the default search Continue reading Week 2 Update
My name is Elizabeth Olson, and I am the DataONE Summer Intern on the project, “Improving DataONE’s Search Capabilities Through Controlled Vocabularies.” This project focuses on improving researchers search capabilities within the DataONE data repository. In order to improve the recall and search precision of the data objects available through Continue reading Improving Search Capabilities Through Controlled Vocabularies: Week 1
We are excited to begin work with our 2017 cohort of summer interns across a range of projects. Information about the projects can be found on our internship description page. Our interns will start recording their activities, experiences and results in this space starting May 2017.
