Marine Geochemical Information Management Strategies and Semantic Mediation

Oceanography is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, cooperative global ocean science. Evolution of marine investigation technologies brings various and massive marine data, so its format, syntax and semantic are varied. Such heterogeneity is an obstacle to knowledge integration, transmission and sharing. A framework of E-oceanography is proposed for dealing with marine information with the background of big data era. Within this framework, semantic mediation system is developed for data interoperation in marine community. The greatest benefit of the semantic management system is to allow a growing number of marine knowledge to be accessed without semantic obstacle and interdisciplinary constrain.
