mudrod_ontologies

This project contains all ontology resources generated through the Mining and Utilizing Dataset Relevancy from Oceanographic Datasets to Improve Data Discovery and Access (MUDROD) project funded by NASA AIST (NNX15AM85G).

Introduction

MUDROD ontologies stem from a number of sources

• NASA Global Change Master Directory Directory Interchange Format (GCMD-DIF) - defined appropriately here, GCMD-DIF exists primarily as an XSD however through MUDROD we have created an OWL manifestation which can be found at dif_v10.2.owl.
• podaacDatasets.owl - a PO.DAAC-specific extension of the SWEET reprDataProduct.owl#Dataset concept with the Data property assertions based off of the GCMD-DIF data model provided above. Each PODAACDataset instance (individual) represents a PO.DAAC dataset with the data values being derived from the PO.DAAC WebServices.
