Data Representation Model for Management and Distribution of Scientific Data

Abstract

Scientific tools and computer simulations enable rapid creation of various types of data and a number of studies have been conducted on data provenance and web-based data representation models to enhance the distribution, reproduction and reusability of scientific data. Ontology is a knowledge representation model, which is also used as data and workflow technology for data provenance. In this study, as part of managing and distributing for scientific data studies, metadata and data representation model were defined for the management and distribution of Visible Korean online. In addition, additional metadata required for re-distributing the user data created through the Visible Korean study is defined using an ontology-based data representation model, and an RDFa-based web page generation method is proposed to search and extract data from existing web pages. This study enables to manage and distribute the Visible Korean online, which has been managed and distributed offline, and a virtuous recycling of distributing research results as wells.
