This document outlines the specifications and upcoming revisions for the Semantic Mediation System. It supports smart data discovery, semantic constraints matching, pipeline steps chaining, and reasoning with data conversions. It details ontology languages, system components, and relations with EcoGrid. Milestones and deliverables for the project are also highlighted.

Specifications document • A number of revisions & refinements done => upcoming revision of design document • Summary: • support smart data discovery • find data that matches some semantic constraints • support matching of pipeline steps and data sets • support chaining of pipeline steps • dependent on what type of AP/“director” is used • know about and reason with data/type/unit conversions
Semantic Mediation System notes from the breakout session
Software Components/Products • ontology languages/handler • languages for semantic types, data types, other constraints • system for type checking and reasoning with semantic types
Relations to other Components • EcoGrid uses SMS for smart data discovery • 2do: What is an analytical step? AMS • Eco-model, piece of a model, (sub-)workflow, data-massaging step, visualization • 2do: Use cases where two analytical steps can/can’t be chained together BEAM • 2do: Use Ptolemy to do some Ecology models and find out which Ptolemy directors are relevant for SEEK (discrete event models, process networks, ...) • 2do: (within SMS) • type systems for parametric polymorphism vs reasoning with measurement scales, aggregation, sampling protocols, scaling theory, ...
Calendaring, Meetings • yes
Milestones • Milestone0: finish hiring asap • Milestone1 (?May/June 2003): • initial choice of ontology language for SW1 (RDF, RDF(S), DAML+OIL, OWL, ...) and • initial tools (Fact, Protege, ... Jena (HP sem web activity)... • prelim. overview on possible type checking, query planning and reasoning procedures for SMS
Deliverables for June 1 • SMS design document • initial choice of ontology languages, and frameworks for reasoning with them • initial design of API: SMS AMS/EcoGrid
