Spatial And Temporal Interpolation Of Environmental Data, Tom Smith, Phil Jones, Elizabeth Kent, Maurice Cox, Noel A. Cressie, Dick Dee, Richard Smith Jan 2010

Spatial And Temporal Interpolation Of Environmental Data, Tom Smith, Phil Jones, Elizabeth Kent, Maurice Cox, Noel A. Cressie, Dick Dee, Richard Smith

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

Environmental data analyzed to a regular spatial and temporal grid is often desired for monitoring and climate studies. For example, monitoring of regional to global temperature change and changes in the daily temperature range and extremes may use analyzed temperatures. We use the term 'analyses' in the broadest sense to encompass any form of transformation to a regular grid (so from simple gridding through to dynamical reanalyses). Resolution depends on the period and region of the analysis: typically coarser analysis grids correspond to longer periods and larger areas. Some analyses are updated in near-real time.


Collaborative Management Of Web Ontology Data With Flexible Access Control, Jie Lu, Chao Wang, Guangquan Zhang, Jun Ma Jan 2010

Collaborative Management Of Web Ontology Data With Flexible Access Control, Jie Lu, Chao Wang, Guangquan Zhang, Jun Ma

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

The creation and management of ontology data on web sites (e.g. instance data that is used to annotate web pages) is important technical support for the growth of the semantic web. This study identifies some key issues for web ontology data management and describes an ontology data management system, called robinet, to perform the management. This paper presents the structure of the system and introduces a Web ontology data management model that enables a flexible access control mechanism. This model adds rules into the robinet system to utilize the semantics of ontology for controlling the access to ontology data. The …
