Enabling Semantic Ecoblogging and Bioblitzes
People currently create Eco-blogs: stories about wildlife they
have seen or observations they've made. Similarly, citizen and
scientists work together on Bioblitzes to comprehensively report
as many species as possible from an area. Currently, none of this
information is easily discovered or integrated. We developed and
have tested two tools that aim to make it easier for individual
scientists and citizens to convert their information to RDF and
OWL. Of 1200 Blogger BioBlitz observations, 47 of them were of
species defined as “of concern” by USFWS.
