Semantic Data Integration of Biodiversity Data with the SERONTO Ontology

The document discusses using the SERONTO ontology to semantically integrate three biodiversity datasets. SERONTO was developed by the ALTER-Net Network of Excellence to allow interoperability across heterogeneous data resources from multiple institutions and scientific domains. The project aims to integrate the National Biodiversity Network Gateway, Countryside Survey, and Environmental Change Network datasets using SERONTO. This will create a distributed system that can be extended to integrate other biodiversity data, demonstrating SERONTO's ability to integrate biodiversity data at different scales.
