| Abstract: |
In the coming era of data-intensive science, it will be increasingly
important to be able to seamlessly move between scientific results,
the data analyzed in them, and the processes used to produce
them. As observations, derived data products, publications, and
object metadata are curated by different projects and archived in
different locations, establishing the proper linkages between these
resources and describing their relationships becomes an essential
activity in their curation and preservation.
In this paper we describe initial efforts to create a semantic
knowledge base allowing easier integration and linking of the body of
heterogeneous astronomical resources which we call the Virtual
Observatory (VO). The ultimate goal of this effort is the creation of a
semantic layer over existing resources, allowing applications to
cross boundaries between archives. The proposed approach follows the
current best practices in Semantic Computing and the architecture of
the web, allowing the use of off-the-shelf technologies and providing
a path for VO resources to become part of the global web of linked data. |
