« Data plays a fundamental role in advancing knowledge and driving research across all fields. Despite the abundance of data, several challenges still need to be addressed. These challenges include limited accessibility, heterogeneous data, lack of interconnections between associated topics, difficulty retrieving required information, semantic mismatches, and several other challenges. Ontologies…
« AgroPortal est un portail d’ontologies et d’artefacts sémantiques spécialisé dans les domaines de l’agriculture, de l’alimentation et de l’environnement. Lancé en 2015, AgroPortal est devenu un composant clé pour les infrastructures numériques pour favoriser l’interopérabilité sémantique des données et leur conformité aux principes FAIR. Cet article présente les usages d’AgroPortal…
« Semantic annotation has emerged as a key technique for transforming human-readable data into machine-actionable formats. It corresponds with the growing emphasis on data reusability and research reproducibility. This paper examines tools for semantic annotation using ontologies and controlled vocabularies, with a focus on their application in data management planning. A…
« The OntoPortal Alliance is a consortium of several research and infrastructure teams dedicated to promoting the development of ontology repositories ––in science and other disciplines–– based on the open, collaboratively developed OntoPortal open source software. Teams in the Alliance develop and maintain several openly accessible semantic artefact catalogues or ontology…
« (…) In recent years, a number of ontologies have been developed within the behavioural and social sciences; however, efforts have tended to be isolated, with limited resources to support developers and those who work (or would like to work) with and use ontologies. There is a need for coordination and…
« Créer les conditions de l’accès et de l’interopérabilité des données est devenu depuis plusieurs années une préoccupation majeure, voire une injonction, pour les chercheurs et ingénieurs qui dialoguent sur la méthodologie à mettre en œuvre dans les projets de recherche.
La journée d’étude de 2024 a été l’occasion de…
« The current generation of artificial intelligence technologies, such as smart search engines, recommendation systems, tools for systematic reviews, and question-answering applications, plays a crucial role in helping researchers manage and interpret scientific literature. Taxonomies and ontologies of research topics are a fundamental part of this environment as they allow intelligent…
« Background: Descriptive metadata are crucial for the discovery, reporting and mobilisation of research datasets. Addressing all metadata issues within the Data Management Plan often poses challenges for data producers. Organising and documenting data within data storage entails creating various descriptive metadata. Subsequently, data sharing involves ensuring metadata interoperability in alignment…
« Une nouvelle version de l’ontologie RDA-FR est désormais disponible sur le site dédié https://rdafr.fr (…) »
« There is an explosion in the number of ontologies and semantic artefacts being produced in science. This paper discusses the need for common platforms to receive, host, serve, align, and enable their reuse. Ontology repositories and semantic artefact catalogues are necessary to address this need and to make ontologies FAIR…
