Week Nine Goals<\/h3>\n

This week the goals for the LOD4DataONE research effort were to access DataONE data from queries of outside data like DBpedia and Data.gov. By loading data from both the DBpedia and Data.gov sparql endpoints and collecting it with the exisitng DataONE RDF that was created from KNB, ORNL DAAC and Dryad data, queries could be created showing relationships between them, e.g., due to species or location.<\/p>\n

Results<\/h3>\n

I moved the code for the Drupal windows into a module, this makes it easier for me to add and display queries dynamically; also I can add this code to Github. I was able to extract data from Data.gov and DBpedia through their sparql endpoints. You can see all queries at http:\/\/manaus.cs.utep.edu\/lod4d1<\/a>, select the LOD4DataONE Queries menu on the left hand side, then select a query to see results. I am glad to see data but I still feel that the view is lacking context and usefulness when a user gets them, in particular people who see the results of these queries.
\nI will be starting the final week of research. My plans are to finish up the demonstration from the data.gov and dbpedia data to dataone data, add to the queries based on community input and my own ideas, update and publish a use case document outlining the work I have done, and finally document my final conclusions of the work. Links to all of this will be found on the
lod4dataone notebook<\/a>. Thus, the demonstration of this research effort can be seen from the search tool as it will use the RDF that was created for the 3 repositories to answer questions using a small cloud of data.<\/p>\n
