GraphViews to explore taxonomies
Taxonomies are used to bring order in categories, classes and subclasses of things, such as species, habitats, and more.
Using the PoolParty GraphViews technology, we are creating an overarching knowledge graph that allows researchers and developers to:
Explore the content of the exposed taxonomies;
Create online references: enriching your data with linking it with other linked-open-data sources;
Create taxonomy-driven reports: categorise the data that you collected following the taxonomy of your choice;
Propose and create linkages between taxonomies.
We find the latter highly exciting, as it will enable graph search type of questions such as:
what is known about this species (e.g a Cougar) in the Catalogue of Life?
which of the species in our area are listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species?
in which of the EUNIS habitats can this species be found?
what is the name of the same habitat in the IUCN Habitat Classification?
what other typical species can be found in this habitat?
How exciting is that!
