Ocean Data Integration Initiative

Congratulations to Bartal Eyðfinsson Veyhe, a Master's student from @CompSciAAU, for being accepted to publish his work "Scientific Data Extraction from Oceanographic Papers" at the Sci-K workshop at @TheWebConf : sci-k.github.io/2023/.

Congratulations to @AntonioZaitoun , our star Ph.D. student, for being accepted to present a Demo of his Ontology Evaluation System at @TheWebConf . Here is a cool example where the system evaluates the Oceanographic coverage of the ENVO Ontology.

Trying to assign datasets LAT/LONG to a named sea (Weddel? Mediterranean?). TLDR - no public service to reverse geocodes into sea names. So @AntonioZaitoun made one. Given a geocode see-sea.odini.net/docs locates closest salt-water body. Data: wikidata.org

We're working on the GUI for our dataset integration tool. What do you think works best?

So, how many oceanographic data sources are actually out there? Saeed Amal from our team is trying to find out by developing an ML-based classifier for websites. you can see the results on our discovery page: odini.net/discover/

Our redesigned website is live! Come visit us at odini.net. Thank you to @AcademicWebPage.

Our data integration system development team is imagining how the user interface will look like for scientists when they approve matches. Here is an old interface from the Ontobuilder days, remember @avigalgal ?

Our weekly meeting saw some excitement as we work on our new project website to showcase our work. Thanks to @AcademicWebPage we are making rapid progress.

The Ocean Data Integration Initiative is kicking off at the University of Haifa @UofHaifa and is supported by the UoH DSRC dsrc.haifa.ac.il. Follow us to hear more about how we intend to bring oceanographic data together.
