Week 9: Final Product Arctic ECSO

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

Week 7: ECSO Imports Old and New

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

Week 6: Troubleshooting ECSO and Reevaluating Arctic ECSO

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

Arctic ECSO: Carbon Cycling Ontology Building

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

Week 4: ECSO knowledge representation and carbon cycling incorporation

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

Improving Search Capabilities Through Controlled Vocabularies: Week 1

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

Welcome to the 2017 Summer Internship Open Notebooks

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.
