Summary: | In order to address society’s most pressing challenges, extremely heterogeneous ecological and organismal data must be integrated. Semantic technology, using terms and design patterns from ontologies and knowledge graphs, provides a more scalable approach than database and spreadsheet technology. In this talk, we will discuss the use of semantic technology for ecological data integration in the context of three projects: FuTRES, the Arctic Data Center, and the National Microbiome Data Collaborative. Semantic technology holds great promise for large-scale data integration in ecology, but more work is needed to create a machine-actionable view across data resources. : This talk was created for the Ecological Society of America 2021 meeting in an INSPIRE session. These talks are only 5 min long. |
