Climate Data Literature Ontology

The project creates a Climate Data Literature Ontology that identifies which datasets are used in scientific text. The system obtains publication metadata to map the relationship between climate research literature and the underlying data sources referenced in academic papers.

The team developed an ontology to structure climate data references and built methods to identify dataset usage within scientific text. The approach involved extracting publication metadata to create connections between research articles and climate datasets.

Temple University benefits from this work. The ontology helps researchers understand which climate datasets are cited in scientific literature, supporting climate research discovery and data provenance tracking.
