Integration of a Domain Ontology in e-Science with a Provenance Model for Se-mantic Provenance Generation in the Scientific Images Analysis.

This paper describes the integration of a domain ontology in e-Science with a provenance model for semantic provenance generation in the scientific images analysis. The domain ontology is related with images obtained from the CoRoT Telescope, where the exoplanets search require detrend algorithms as preprocessing, improving the chance to detect planetary transits. In order to retrieve standardized information regarding the origin and facilitate the monitoring of information, the Proof Markup Language – PML was chosen as provenance common model due to its characteristics of modularity, reuse, interoperability and the possibility of justify how conclusions were obtained. As contribution of this paper, the integration of the ontologies presented enables getting information from the domain and justify the conclusions, through a standardized provenance model, allowing logical inference and semantic interoperability.
