Enhancing access to relevant marine information – a pilot service for searching, aggregating and filtering collections of linked open marine data [ 2015-12-31 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Johnathan Kool (Principal investigator)

Brief description

We aim to improve the searchability and delivery of sources of linked open data, and to provide the ability to forward collections of discovered data to web services for subsequent processing through the development of a linked open data search tool. This work would improve access to existing data collections, and would also facilitate the development of new applications by acting as an aggregator of links to streams of marine data. The work will benefit managers by providing faster and easier access to online marine information. The initial phase of the work would consist of scoping the needs of stakeholders and identifying the desired functionality of the interface.

Notes In addition to the NESP funding, this project is matched by an equivalent amount of in-kind support and co-investment from project partners and collaborators.
