Service overview
Service name
Open Information Linking for Environmental science research infrastructures (OIL-E)
Service area
data
Service phase
alpha
Service description
OIL-E is a developing framework for addressing the semantic linking requirements of environmental science e-RIs. Specifically, it is intended to provide a machine-readable bridge between the ENVRI Reference Model and other concept models related to research infrastructure, architecture and scientific (meta)data.
Customer group
RI data engineers/architects
User group
Data-driven researchers
Value
OIL-E is intended to provide technical and methodological guidance for the linking of different controlled vocabularies in order to help the construction of cross-cutting services.
Tagline
Open linking between environmental science RI reference modelling and controlled vocabularies.
Features
Captures ENVRI RM as a multi-viewpoint OWL ontology for RI architecture.
Permits analysis and comparison of RI characteristics as the foundation for an ENVRI Knowledge Base.
Provides a linking framework for describing the different metadata schemes and technologies used by RIs as well as to identify any semantic mappings available to convert between schemes.
[1] Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) are a method of estimating technology maturity of components during the acquisition process. For non-technical components, you can specify “n/a”. For technical components, you can select them based on the following definition from the EC:
TRL 1 – basic principles observed
TRL 2 – technology concept formulated
TRL 3 – experimental proof of concept
TRL 4 – technology validated in lab
TRL 5 – technology validated in relevant environment (industrially relevant environment in the case of key enabling technologies)
TRL 6 – technology demonstrated in relevant environment (industrially relevant environment in the case of key enabling technologies)
TRL 7 – system prototype demonstration in operational environment
TRL 8 – system complete and qualified
TRL 9 – actual system proven in operational environment (competitive manufacturing in the case of key enabling technologies)
