Geoscience Australia - Vocabularies
Laura Stanford & Lara SedgmenGeoscience Australia
Vocabularies• Geoscience Australia currently has 155 vocabularies hosted
in an Oracle database
• Migrating vocabs to the ANDS Vocabulary system using PoolParty
• Publishing through the RVA portal and to the GA SISSVoc
• Vocabs can be manually entered or imported using an RDF file.

• GA’s own and hosted Vocabularies are published to the Research Vocabularies Australia portal
https://vocabs.ands.org.au/
• 8 GA Vocabularies currently published.
• 19 CGI/GGIC Vocabularies in RVA.
• GA’s vocabularies are also published to a GA SISSVoc instance

OverviewWhirlwind tour of use and application of vocabularies at CSIRO.
Traditional SKOS vocabularies via SISSVoc.
SKOS vocabularies → Lightweight ontologies (more semantics in relationship).

What have I told you…?Classical SKOS vocabulary content delivery and applications1. SISSVoc: vocabulary + SKOS API + web service2. SISSVoc search: SISSVoc + Web 2.0 + dynamic web queries 3. SISSVoc explorer: SISSVoc + Web 2.0 + D3 viz + dynamic web queries4. AURIN Water/energy consumption project: harmonisation across multiple data providers
Beyond SKOS and into → Linked Data applications1. eReefs visualisation portal: harmonisation across multiple data providers and fine grained semantics
for data, services, organisation, observed properties2. CSIRO Network: Linking within and between people, projects, publications, location, org units
Take-home messages● Services-based approaches enable sophisticated and reusable tools ● A little bit of semantics goes a long way - use of vocabularies for harmonisation, data fusion, and
precise descriptions● A bit more semantics give us potential for a lot more gains - rich, flexible applications and analytics
Thank you!
