An Interoperable Open Data Portal for Climate Analysis

This work proposes an open interoperable data portal that offers access to a Web-wide climate domain knowledge graph created for Ireland and England’s NOAA climate daily data. There are three main components contributing to this data portal: the first is the upper layer schema of the knowledge graph –the climate analysis (CA) ontology – the second is an ad hoc SPARQL server by which to store the graph data and provide public Web access, the last is a dereferencing engine deployed to resolve URIs for entity information. Our knowledge graph form of NOAA climate data facilitates the supply of semantic climate information to researchers and offers a variety of semantic applications that can be built on top of it.
