ABSTRACT
We propose a digital library design to support epidemic and public health simulation experiments in which model ontologies direct collection organization, user interface construction, and discovery. We have developed a SimDL instantiation of the ontological design tailored for a typical experimentation workflow. SimDL relies on an XML Schema description of a simulation model to form a domain and model specific ontology. We show this approach useful in building digital libraries to support collaborative simulation efforts.

Improving simulation management systems through ontology generation and utilization
JCDL '11: Proceedings of the 11th annual international ACM/IEEE joint conference on Digital librariesContent from simulation systems is useful in defining domain ontologies. We describe a digital library process to generate and leverage domain ontologies to support simulation systems tasks. Workflow ontologies may be used to define compositions of ...
Mediation of foundation ontology based knowledge sources
Ontologies are helpful in giving interoperable structures to sources of knowledge and information. This interoperability, however, is greatly hindered by the heterogeneity of independently developed ontologies which in turn increases the requirements ...
Interschema correspondence establishment in a cooperative OWL-based multi-information server grid environment
Establishing interschema semantic knowledge between corresponding elements in a cooperating OWL-based multi-information server grid environment requires deep knowledge, not only about the structure of the data represented in each server, but also about ...
