基于本体的网络数据工作平台NetData

NetData:An Ontology-based E-Science Workbench for Semantic Web

近年来,网格、语义网络等新技术迅速发展并日臻成熟。互联网发展焦点开始从信息的发布和互联转向知识的交互框架。随着语义网络迅速发展,世界各地各个领域的研究爱好者组成虚拟社区,对同一领域的知识信息一起协作研究。其中,对数据的整理、保存、检索、分析是实现语义网络远景的基础工作。本文为了帮助研究社区的研究人员更有效方便地加入社区的研究,利用长期帮助中国中医研究院建设专业结构化数据库群的项目中所取得的经验,结合了语义网络和数据库网格的研究,设计并初步实现了基于本体的网络数据工作平台。

Just as the Internet is shifting its focus from information and communication to a knowledge delivery infrastructure, the Semantic Web extends the current Web to a pervasive worldwide knowledge management infrastructure which aims to allow Web entitles（software agents, users and programs）to interoperate, exchange and share resources, and solve complex problems in collaborative way. The Semantic Web enables to put the experts from different domains and different locations to found cyber communities. The experts coordinate each other to do research or project, in which data manipulation （sorting, saving, retrieving and analyzing） is a fundamental building block to realize above vision. For the purpose of helping exports to join the cooperation net data work conveniently and efficiently, we design and develop an ontology-based workbench and take the advantage of experience that gained from the projects of building Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM）Databases and the research of Semantic Web and Database Grid that have been done by our lab. Hundreds of TCM experts from different TCM Academies in China contributed to these projects through Internet.
