A Consideration of Biomimetics Database based on Ontology and Linked Data

Abstract

For biomimetics research, it is important to develop biomimetics database which enable us to find a huge variety of knowledge across different domains. To realize such database, an interoperability of knowledge between them is necessary. Ontologies clarify concepts that appear in the target domains and contribute to improvement of interoperability. This article discusses roles of ontologies in a biomimetics database thorough some experiment in other domains.
