Current Projects
![]() | AquaDiva D01 - Semantic Technologies for Scientific Data management and Text Mining (SemDaTe) The Collaborative Research Centre AquaDiva (CRC 1076), funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), focuses on the important roles of water (Aqua) and biodiversity (Diva) for shaping the structure, properties, and functions of the subsurface. This project aims to answer fundamental questions about the Earth’s Critical Zone (CZ) that begins below the highest density of plant roots (~0.3 meters) and extends down into the first aquifers (~100 meters): What biota live there? How do they interact with and reflect on their environment? and How do they reflect surface properties? In cooperation with the research group of Prof. Dr. Udo Hahn… Read More |
Semantic Description and (semi-) Automatic Annotation of Citizen Science Data It is a collaborative project between The Heinz-Nixdorf Endowed Chair for Distributed Information Systems at the Friedrich-Schiller-University (FSU) Jena and German Aerospace Center (DLR). The project focuses on interoperability of the citizen science data. Semantic web technologies can be used to realize a model for citizen science measurement and observation data by covering not only the content related aspects, but also including information on the quality, trustworthiness and provenance of the data.
