/11 7th Agricultural Ontology Service Bangalore, India 9 Semantic Network Dictionary System To collect, manage, and compare ontological information such as data dictionaries, classification schemas, terminologies, and thesauri for the global observation data. Data sharing and data service such as support of metadata design, structuring of data contents, support of text mining is applied for better use of data to the semantic network dictionary system. As a trans-disciplinary dictionary including civil engendering, agriculture, classification schema, satellite observation data, and so on. We endeavor to add dictionaries and data model to the system by digitalizing text based dictionaries, developing “knowledge writing tool” for experts.
