Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to report and discuss the use of a linked data approach on existing related databases on forest fires, plant specimens, insect collections, forest dynamics plot censuses, and Taiwanese species checklists. We adopted the linked data approach to connect together data intrinsically related from distributed databases. The approach developed a workflow through 4 steps to integrate and publish human- and machine-readable ecological data as linked open data on the web. Results from our work can be found at the web site http://ecowlim.tfri.gov.tw. We conclude that the linked data approach is a new way to improve and advance ecological data sharing.

链接生态开放数据(LODE):生态数据共享的新途径

本文的目的是报告并讨论连结数据方法在现有森林火灾、植物标本、昆虫收集、森林动态图普查和台湾物种清单等相关数据库中的使用。我们采用链接数据的方法将分布式数据库中内在相关的数据连接在一起。该方法通过4个步骤开发了一个工作流程，将人类和机器可读的生态数据整合并发布为网络上链接的开放数据。我们的工作结果可在网站http://ecowlim.tfri.gov.tw上找到。我们认为，关联数据方法是改善和推进生态数据共享的新途径。

期刊介绍： The Taiwan Journal of Forest Science is an academic publication that welcomes contributions from around the world. The journal covers all aspects of forest research, both basic and applied, including Forest Biology and Ecology (tree breeding, silviculture, soils, etc.), Forest Management (watershed management, forest pests and diseases, forest fire, wildlife, recreation, etc.), Biotechnology, and Wood Science. Manuscripts acceptable to the journal include (1) research papers, (2) research notes, (3) review articles, and (4) monographs. A research note differs from a research paper in its scope which is less-comprehensive, yet it contains important information. In other words, a research note offers an innovative perspective or new discovery which is worthy of early disclosure.
