Abstract

Biomimetics contributes to innovative engineering by imitating the models, systems, and elements of nature. Biomimetics research requires the development of a biomimetics database including widely varied knowledge across different domains. Interoperability of knowledge among those domains is necessary to create such a database. Ontologies clarify concepts that appear in target domains and help to improve interoperability. Furthermore, linked data technologies are very effective for integrating a database with existing biological diversity databases. In this paper, we propose a keyword exploration technique to find appropriate keywords for retrieving meaningful knowledge from various biomimetics databases. Such a technique could support idea creation by users based on a biomimetics ontology. This paper shows a prototype of the biomimetics ontology and keyword exploration tool.
