Abstract

We present an ontology for managing the scientific and common names of birds. The ontology is based on the TaxMeOn meta-ontology model for biological names. The ontology is in use as an ontology service and it has been applied in a bird watching system.

Keywords

Query Expansion
Ontology Service
Bird Observation
Semantic Computing
High Level Taxon

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
