Abstract

Accumulated volumes of semantically annotated data which are distributed over the Internet deliver a valuable source of material for computational-intensive scientific experiments according to E-Science paradigm. However, the diversity of Linked Open Data sources and ontological structures within these structures raise a problem of search, extraction and import of relevant data from third-party endpoints. In this paper we present a solution, which helps users to create workflow-based applications with LOD-data without manual typing SPARQL queries. The solution is a functional extension for Virtual Simulation Objects toolbox [1]. Its concept and technology propose knowledge-based composite application design process. We describe LOD-data import process, which is implemented with “generic pattern” specification. A faceted browsing tool with basic filtration mechanisms was used in the experiments and a use-case from meteorology domain was also presented.
