A service for a specific community

A curated repository for semantic resources in the domains:

ecology
biodiversity
observation of the ecosystem

SLIDE 4

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

SLIDE 5

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

SLIDE 6

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

> EcoPortal ensures alignment with upcoming
