| Abstract | |
There are many initiatives to promote "intelligent openness" or "FAIR principles" of data, i.e., ways to turn data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. They rely on a compliance with reference schemas, common standards or ontologies. However, in the biodiversity domain, it is still usual that biologists produce their data in ad hoc and heterogeneous formats. A compliance with a standard imposes on them an upfront cost of restructuring and annotating their data. This research addresses this scenario focusing on spreadsheets. It contributes with a technique to automatically produce semantic annotations in data extracted from spreadsheets, exploring the way that attributes are arranged in their schemas to infer their purpose. Elements of the resulting semantic dataset can be integrated, articulated and handled according to their purpose, in an incremental and exploratory approach, allowing biologists to navigate and interact with an interconnected network of biodiversity data (AU) | |
