NetData: An Ontology-based E-Science Workbench for Semantic Web
基于本体的网络数据工作平台NetData

Just as the Internet is shifting its focus from information and communication to a knowledge delivery infra- structure,the Semantic Web extends the current Web to a pervasive worldwide knowledge management infrastructure which aims to allow Web entities(software agents,users and programs)to intemperate,exchange and share resources, and solve complex problems in collaborative way.The Semantic Web enables to put the experts from different domains and different locations to found cyber communities.The experts coordinate each other to do research or project,in which data manipulation (sorting,saving,retrieving and analyzing)is a fundamental building block to realize above vi- sion.For the purpose of helping exports to join the cooperation net data work conveniently and efficiently,we design and develop an ontology-based workbench and take the advantage of experience that gained from the projects of building Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)Databases and the research of Semantic Web and Database Grid that have been done by our lab.Hundreds of TCM experts from different TCM Academies in China contributed to these projects through Internet.
