  1. Application of RDF-OWL in the ESG Ontology Sylvia Murphy: murphys@ucar.edu Julien Chastang:chastang@ucar.edu Luca Cinquini: luca@ucar.edu Rocky Dunlap: rocky@cc.gatech.edu Ryan O’Kuinghttons: rokuingh@ucar.edu Cecelia DeLuca: cdeluca@ucar.edu

  2. Outline • Curator and ESMF in the context of an Earth System Modeling Infrastructure • Metadata lifecycle • Use of RDF • Curator and ESG support to a NCAR summer 2008 colloquium on atmospheric dynamical cores • RDF in action (demonstration): • How to search for dynamical cores • How to look at models, simulations, and experiments • How to create a comparison table

  3. What is Curator • The Earth System Curator project, in partnership with NCAR initiatives and the Earth System Grid (ESG), has built a prototype web portal that links model components and data together via metadata. • The portal: • enables model components, models, simulations, experiments, and data to be searched and browsed (using ESG faceted search) • provides new tools to support model and component inter-comparison projects • implements dataset “trackback” - connecting datasets with detailed information about the models used to create the data • Curator partners include NCAR, Georgia Tech, GFDL, MIT, and members of the European model metadata community.

  5. Metadata Lifecycle

  6. Metadata Lifecycle • ESMF component exports XML metadata • The XML is validated and harvested into a Java object representation • The Java objects are persisted to a relational database (RDBMS) • Metadata in the RDBMS is then harvested into RDF – a Semantic Web ontology language • The RDF is accessed by the ESG web portal for faceted search of the metadata

  7. Application of RDF OWL • RDF allows for the creation of relationships between properties • Formed in triples • (Model_Component_X, hasConservationType, “Total Energy”) • (Model_Component_Y, hasContact, “Sylvia Murphy”) • System allows for multiple properties per object, which is useful in describing unconfigured model components • Specific relationships were developed collaboratively with the scientists who needed them

  8. ASP 2008 Colloquium: Numerical Techniques for Global Atmospheric Models • 9 atmospheric dynamical core components • Running 22 test cases at up to 5 resolutions • Component comparison table • Automated upload of simulation data, publishing, and comparison • Current PCMDI tables are static, hard-coded, non-searchable • Data search and browse via ESG Gateway

  10. Table Comparison Interface

  11. Table Comparison Details • Select model components • Select criteria • Table generated dynamically • Eventually selections can be placed in a user’s saved workspace http://dycore.ucar.edu/query/modelComparison.htm
