Basics: responsibilities, objectives, concept
Overview: A profile catalogue of all search parameters
Who? What? Where? When?
Online data search Temporal and spatial trends of selected substances Description of the specimens (biometric/anamnestic data)
Results: Evaluated and commented Selected results Publications
What we would like to communicate
Workshop, Berlin 20.-21. April 2011 820. April 2011
User guidance: From the catalogue to data search
The catalogue contains interlinked profiles of all search parameters Data search results are linked to commented short assessment reports,
introducing the search parameters Then the user can go to the data search dialogue and vary the combination The results contain additional information, e.g. evaluation criteria

Linked Data Principles
1. Use URIs as names for things2. Use HTTP URIs so that people can look up those
names.3. When someone looks up a URI, provide useful
information, using the standards (RDF, SPARQL)4. Include links to other URIs. so that they can discover
more things.
