Biodiversity Metadata Ontology (BMO)

The Biodiversity Metadata Ontology (BMO) is an ontology that describes the underlying shared scheme of the metadata of seven Biodiversity data repositories. Such repositories include idiv, data.world, BEF-China, the Biodiversity Expolatores (BExIS), PANGEAE, Dryad, and gbif. We have manually collected metadata from them and analyzied such metadata. We have generated BMO using the MakeSchema that is based on the python rdflib tool. We export the BMO to Turtle, RDF/XML, and n-triples format.

生物多样性元数据本体（Biodiversity Metadata Ontology，BMO）是用于描述七个生物多样性数据仓库元数据底层共享框架的本体。此类数据仓库包括idiv、data.world、BEF-China、生物多样性探索者（BExIS，原文标注为Biodiversity Expolatores）、PANGEAE、Dryad以及gbif（Global Biodiversity Information Facility）。我们已从上述仓库中手动收集元数据并完成分析。我们使用基于Python rdflib工具的MakeSchema生成了BMO，并将其导出为Turtle、RDF/XML与n-triples格式。
