e-Science semântica: integração dos dados na comunicação científica

Abstract

The experimental, theoretical and computing sciences have been affected by the great quantity of data collected or simulated, and a new context based on the intensive use of data has been emerged and called by researchers as e-Science, or the fourth paradigm of science. Therefore, transforming this fourth paradigm in semantic, in which data and scientific literature are linked, available and interoperable, is a challenge. New tools and languages are necessary; and in order to make it possible, projects have been presented. In this regard, the paper aimed at characterizing 3 parts, Molecular BioSystems, Virtual Solar-Terrestrial and Nature magazine that presents semantic improvements and use of ontologies in its pages, checking the correlation between the Semantic Web and e-Science. The methodology used consisted of bibliographic survey and review of literature for discussion of the theme, descriptive method to describe the semantic features of portals, besides the comparative method. We verified that the application of semantic web in portals with e-science features considerably improves the recovery and consequently the reuse of research primary data.
