A service for a specific community

A curated repository for semantic resources in the domains:

  • ecology
  • biodiversity
  • observation of the ecosystem

Scope of Ecoportal

A registry for different types of semantic resources:

  • ontologies
  • thesauri
  • semantically enhanced reference lists, also

taxonomic lists, protocols?

  • recommended Ontology Design Patterns

A portal with multiple functions

  • browsing services

for ontologies/thesauri/metadata navigation, visualisation, translation

  • searching services

within/across, structured, advanced

  • mapping services

automatic/manual mappings, upload

  • annotation services
  • > testing NCBO BioPortal technology

Social services

  • Interface for ontology submission by users
  • Gatekeeping: two step-approach (validation)
  • Social interaction: commenting on ressources

(also on class level)

  • Semantic marketplace: supplier/user exchange

Why another Portal?

… there exists already Agroportal, ESIP! BUT

  • EcoPortal focuses on ecology, biodiversity and

ecosystem observation research

  • EcoPortal includes ontologies, thesauri and

reference lists of the domain

  • > A dedicated portal to a specific community allows

better curation and customised services

  • > EcoPortal ensures alignment with upcoming

standards related to ontology metadata and APIs
