• Initial development & subsequent refinement of use cases
• Development team from ESIP Semantic Web cluster
• Re-use of related ontologies
• Submission of key characteristics of Tools & Data
Collections in Knowledge Base (triple store)
• Use of eclectic suite of tools for ontology creation &
expression, concept mapping, form creation, web services &
results display
Collaboratively Conceived, Designed and Implemented: Matching Visualization Tools with Geoscience Data Collections & Geoscience Data Collections with Visualization Tools via the ToolMatch Service

I have data & need to know which tools I can use
• I need data with measurements of atmospheric aerosol
optical depth sliced along latitude and longitude, returned as
netcdf data, and accessible in MatLab
Initial Use Cases:
I have tools & need to know what data can be used with
them
• I want to be able to plot, as a time series, carbon dioxide
concentrations using an IPython Notebook.
• After discovering data collections that are accessible via
OPeNDAP Hyrax in HDF5 format, what can I do with the
resulting data products?
Tool Ontology:
Areas of Collaboration:
Collaborators:
Matching and Linking:
Panoply can Display Swatch Data via OPeNDAP on a Map
Datasets available in
Giovani available in
certain formats with
certain features. Which
tools can be used to
visualize them?

Next Steps: • Collect information about more tools using crowd sourcing
• Complete implementation of the matching capabilities
• Splash screens for instance data to include schema.org and RDFa marckup
