BioPortal Installation: Earth Sciences Semantics Portal
Submitted by bheyer on November 3, 2010 - 13:49
DataONE has developed an Earth Sciences Semantics Portal (EESP) using the BioPortal core Tag 1027 and BioPortal GUI tag 1039.
The Earth Sciences Semantics Portal (ESSP) provides open and persistent access to ontologies for experimental, observational, and computer modeling data in the Earth Sciences. ESSP promotes the integration and interoperability objectives of DataONE by providing an access point for tested, mature semantics technologies, encouraging best practices for enhanced discovery and access through standard terminology.
Funding was provided in part by the DOE Office of Science, by NSF through the FAST program, and by NASA through the ORNL Distributed Active Archive Center for Biogeochemical Dynamics (ORNL DAAC). The ORNL DAAC is funded by the NASA Earth Science Data and Information System (ESDIS) project. ESSP is currently hosted by the Data Observation Network for Earth (DataONE) project, which is sponsored by the Office of CyberInfrastructure, NSF.
