Abstract

This article describes the publication of occurrences of Southern Elephant Seals Mirounga leonina (Linnaeus, 1758) as Linked Open Data in two environments (marine and coastal). The data constitutes hydrographic measurements of instrumented animals and observation data collected during censuses between 1990 and 2017. The data scheme is based on the previously developed ontology BiGe-Onto and the new version of the Semantic Sensor Network ontology (SSN). We introduce the network of ontologies used to organize the data and the transformation process to publish the dataset. In the use case, we develop an application to access and analyze the dataset. The linked open dataset and the related visualization tool turned data into a resource that can be located by the international community and thus increase the commitment to its sustainability. The data, coming from Península Valdés (UNESCO World Heritage), is available for interdisciplinary studies of management and conservation of marine and coastal protected areas which demand reliable and updated data.

以LOD形式发布的南大西洋的观测/水文数据

摘要

本文介绍了在两种环境（海洋和沿海）中以链接开放数据的形式出现的南部象海豹Mirounga leonina（Linnaeus，1758）的出版物。该数据构成了1990年至2017年普查期间对有仪器动物的水文测量和观测数据。该数据方案基于先前开发的本体BiGe-Onto和新版本的语义传感器网络本体（SSN）。我们介绍了用于组织数据的本体网络以及用于发布数据集的转换过程。在用例中，我们开发了一个应用程序来访问和分析数据集。链接的开放数据集和相关的可视化工具将数据转换为国际社会可以定位的资源，从而增加了对其可持续性的承诺。来自PenínsulaValdés（教科文组织世界遗产）的数据可用于需要可靠和更新数据的海洋和沿海保护区管理和保护的跨学科研究。
