Incorporating Community Input into the SWEET Ontologies
Abstract
The Semantic Web for Earth and Environmental Terminology (SWEET) includes a comprehensive set of ontologies that are expandable by specialized user communities. SWEET provides shared understanding of concepts and relations that cross multiple Earth system science disciplines (such as nitrogen, conduction, pressure). A procedure has been established to elicit community input, to expand or edit the ontologies, and to align and map SWEET elements to concepts in other ontologies. The process includes a discussion wiki, ontology alignment tools, and community workshops and oversight committees. SWEET is being expanded to the entire planetary system (including solid Earth and heliosphere) based on a NASA ROSE/ACCESS grant.
