SemDaTe explores semantic technologies to enable a seamless, ontology-based integration of structured experimental data (from databases or spreadsheets) and originally unstructured textual data (from publications) in a common information management system. This platform, based on the BExIS2 software, will not only provide a safe home for all of AquaDiva's data, but also enable AquaDiva scientists to semantically retrieve, model, and aggregate data (e.g., for the purposes of hypothesis testing or summarization), including information about their trustworthiness, consistency, and completeness. Such an environment will be of use not only within AquaDiva, but also advance the state of the art in data science, in general.
