A Grid-Enabled Digital Library System for Natural Disaster Metadata
نویسندگان
چکیده
The need to organize and publish metadata about European research results in the field of natural disasters has been met with the help of two innovative technologies: the Open Grid Service Architecture (OGSA) and the Resource Description Framework (RDF). OGSA provides a common platform for sharing distributed metadata securely. RDF facilitates the creation and exchange of metadata. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a Grid-based digital library for natural-disaster research metadata. We describe the EU-MEDIN RDF schema that we propose to standardize the description of natural-disaster resources, and the gDisDL Grid service-based architecture for storing and querying of RDF metadata in a secure and distributed manner. Finally, we describe a prototype implementation of gDisDL using the Jena RDF Library by HP and the Globus 3 toolkit.

متن کاملDeveloping Preservation Metadata for Use in Grid-Based Preservation Systems
Establishing metadata requirements is a key challenge for any attempt to implement a digital preservation repository. The repository’s capacity to provide costeffective, trustworthy services largely derives from the metadata it uses. This paper describes the metadata posited to support services the Chronopolis preservation system will offer at the conclusion of its first year of development. Ch...
متن کاملUnsupervised Metadata Extraction in Scientific Digital Libraries Using A-Priori Domain-Specific Knowledge
Information extraction from unstructured sources is a crucial step in the semantic annotation of content. The challenge is in supporting an high quality automatic approach (or at least semi-automatic) in order to sustain the scalability of the semantic-enabled services of the future. Unsupervised information extraction encompasses a number of underlying research problems, such as natural langua...
متن کاملExtraction of Temporal Relation by the Creation of Historical Natural Disaster Archive
In historical science and social science, the influence of natural disaster upon society is a matter of great interest. In recent years, some archives are made through many hands for natural disasters, however it is inefficiency and waste. So, we suppose a computer system to create a historical natural disaster archive. As the target of this analysis, we consider newspaper articles. The news ar...
