This was an exciting week, in as much as it culminated with a visit to the Oak Ridge National Lab. Initial part of the week was invested in exploring further the algorithms that were shortlisted in the prior week, namely Falcon and AgreementMaker. Both of these are available as separate Continue reading Working with some Algos & Visit to ORNL
Hi Interns, As part of my project I’m working on an interactive data policy planning tool. ย I’d like to base it off the Creative Commons Choose a license tool. ย This tool is licensed under a 3.0 license, the most liberal– basically, anyone is free to reuse the tool and its Continue reading Need help from someone with amazing coding skills
This week I enjoyed a second face-to-face meeting with my mentor at a Chapman Conference on communicating climate science in Granby, Colorado. After a particularly scenic Amtrak ride through the snow-capped mountains, I arrived at the train station and continued with Stacy on to the Snow Mountain Ranch. By the Continue reading A Look at Science Communication
The past week was really a fruitful and exciting week for me. At the beginning the week, I continued the development of basic modules for the model comparison package. The first work is the enhancement of batch processing functions. The original batch processing I developed needs users to drag a Continue reading Face-to-face Meeting in ORNL
I started week 3 in a state of muted panic, mostly related to the monster of a 10-page classification scheme I finalized a draft of last Friday. ย On Monday I realized that while this is a really good entry point to the data in its current state it’s completely unusable Continue reading It’s getting better all the time
Last week, I worked on gathering all the features that we want the new Metadata Environment to have, and identified some useful JavaScript libraries for implementing them. This week, I started outlining in more specific terms how I plan to implement some of these features. When the user imports a Continue reading Week 3 – Teaching Old Column Headers New Tricks
This week my main goal was to get a Part of Speech (PoS) tagger up and running. After some searching and testing I decided to use the Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK.org). While it has to be installed (as opposed to running in a jar or python egg) it runs quickly Continue reading Part of Speech Tagger, ontology generation
Last week, the preservation and metadata work group met in Chicago to flesh out an exact specification for our online, crowd-sourced metadictionary. We discussed in detail the features that we’ll implement for the prototype, as well as future add-ons that will follow the internship. I began coding last week and Continue reading Week 2 – Finished design, starting coding
This week Iโve been experimenting with writing styles in order to find the right voice for upcoming data stories, so I thought I would provide some insight into the process. In terms of writing, voice is not a one-size-fits-all treatment; each project is a custom job with new considerations. Ideally, Continue reading Week 2 – Storytelling in Style
Week two revolved around identifying and surveying the algorithms and systems available for matching of the ontologies. The focus was on studying the several systems that have appeared and repeatedly participated (in recent years) in the OAEI campaigns. The Ontology Matching paper (Shvaiko & Euzenat) discusses some of the systems Continue reading Analyzing Ontology Matching Systems
