Specifically, the opportunity to unambigously provide declarative and operational specifications of term meanings and connect those specifications to documents and data sets containing those terms, has the potential to revolutionize interoperability of data and documents. We have begun a few efforts to leverage scientific ontologies to support interoperability of scientific data by providing tools and infrastructure that utilize definitions of scientific terms that are captured in ontologies and linked on the web. We will discuss both our infrastructure and also provide an introduction to how the emerging semantic web may be leveraged to advance earth and space science.
