Abstract

Transparency and data integrity are crucial to any scientific study wanting to garner impact and credibility in the scientific community. The purpose of this paper is to discuss how this can be achieved using what we define as the Semantic Catalog. The catalog exploits community vocabularies as well as linked open data best practices to seamlessly describe and link things, data, and off-the-shelf (OTS) services to support scientific offshore wind energy research for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Wind and Water Power Program. This is largely made possible by leveraging collaborative advances in the Internet of Things (IoT), Semantic Web, Linked Services, Linked Open Data (LOD), and Resource Description Framework (RDF) vocabulary communities, which provides the foundation for our design. By adapting these linked community best practices, we designed a wind characterization Data Management Facility (DMF) capable of continuous data collection, processing, and preservation of in situ and remote sensing instrument measurements. The design incorporates the aforementioned Semantic Catalog which provides a transparent and ubiquitous interface for its user community to the things, data, and services for which the DMF is composed.
