=== Structuring Content in a Semantic Wiki ===
+
 
+
To structure the content of this wiki, we use a semantic wiki framework.
+
We use an extension of [http://semantic-mediawiki.org/ Semantic MediaWiki] that enables contributors to use structured semantic properties to describe the contents of the wiki. 
+
 
+
One way in which this wiki structures content is though pre-defined categories.  Pages can have special categories, which gives the wiki pages a pre-defined semantic structure.  Special categories include Task, Answer, and Data.
+
 
+
In addition, each page has a section called "Structured Properties", where contributors can specify properties and values of the topic of the page.  Any contributor can define new properties on the fly.  Any contributor can change an existing property by one that is used elsewhere, effectively normalizing the use of the property across pages and therefore across objects.
+
 
+
Another extension in this wiki is that contributor credit is tracked and shown.  At the bottom of each page, the contributors to that page are shown together with the details of their contributions to that page.  Contributors can also have their own pages, which include any background information they wish to share, and where the edits that they have made are automatically summarized and shown.
+
 
+
* An example of a <b>task</b> page: [[Document_PIHM_Model | Document PIHM Model]]
+
* An example of a <b>data</b> page: [[Knb-lter-ntl.87.8 | knb-lter-ntl.87.8]]
+
* An example of a <b>researcher</b> page: [[Jordan_Read | Jordan Read]]
+
* An example of a <b>model software</b> page: [[PIHM_Software | PIHM Software]]
+
 
+
<b>A great way to start is to create your own page!  Just type your name on the "Search" box, agree to create a page, save it empty, and then add properties imitating the example researcher page above.</b>
+
 
+
=== Using Structured Content to Dynamically Create Sections of Wiki Pages ===
+
 
+
Those properties can then be used to answer queries that aggregate automatically those properties and pages.  Below are some examples of how a query can be stated using those structured properties, and the automatically generated table that answers the query.  These queries can be used to create dynamically generated content.

+
=== Accessing Structured Content Externally ===
+
 
+
The structured content in this semantic wiki is represented with the [http://www.w3.org/RDF/ W3C RDF] semantic representation standard. 
+
This allows others to access and import the content of this wiki into their applications.
+
There is extensive documentation about this '''[http://www.organicdatascience.org/api.php API here]'''.
+
 
+
=== How to Add Text to a Wiki Page ===
+
 
+
In addition to structured properties, this wiki also allows adding regular wiki text and content.  When editing, and before adding any text, click on the "Save Page" button at the bottom.  After that select a category.  Then edit.

What is Organic Data Science?

Organic Data Science allows scientists to formulate and resolve science processes through an open framework that facilitates ad-hoc participation and entice collaborators based on attractive science goals. Read more.


Our Science Goal: The Age of Water

We focus on long-standing problems of coupled water and carbon budgets through development of a new scientific paradigm, The Age of Water and Carbon, that melds theory and practice from limnology and hydrology within the new collaborative paradigm of Organic Data Science. We are integrating analytical frameworks from two communities – hydrology and isotope modeling in | Critical Zone Observatories (CZOs) and hydrodynamic water quality modeling from the | Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network (GLEON) – to quantify water and material fluxes from two research sites, the Shales Hills CZO and the GLEON member site, |North Temperate Lakes LTER. This foundation will serve as a nexus for participation by multiple communities and will seed the growth of additional science through shared ideas, knowledge, and data.
