Summary of the 1st Phase

Linked Open Data for Global Disaster Risk Research Task Group

a hand-in-hand collaboration mechanism between CODATA and IRDR

1. IntroductionProcess2012 LODGD task group was set up and approved by CODATA2013-2014 1st Phase finished2015-2016 2nd Phase approved

ObjectiveLinked Open Data for Global Disaster Risk Research (LODGD) aims to identify gaps and to study the mechanism to connect dispersed disaster related scientific data to enable easier and faster discovery, search, and access to data, reducing the barriers faced by researchers today due to limited interconnection of existing disaster-related data.The objectives of LODGD Task Group+:• To promote disaster data using model from open accessing to linked analyzing• To identify ,address and disseminate the ideas that cross-disciplinary data should be

linked together for disaster study• To collect best practices of multi-disciplinary data linking• To expand resources of task group, especially the experts network

3. Main Achievement

4. Study case

The Upper level is technical approach employed

The Lower level is knowledge about disaster events and the multidisciplinary data.

Figure 2. Knowledge Discovery Model of Literature-based multidisciplinary data for disaster research

Knowledge raised from case study• Researchers need multidisciplinary data for earthquake study, and the data dependency

of different earthquake events varies greatly.• In the early earthquake study (Tangshan,1976),It shows identical data usage trend from

AI view and RI view, while the data usage differs a lot from the AI view and RI view in the latest research( Wenchuan and Haidi earthquake events)

• With the temporal evolution, usage of Geophysical data continuous declining both from the AI view and RI view, however, the usage of Clinical data continues to rise up.

• The statistical data displays opposite trend in AI view and RI view, it declines in the AI view but goes up in the RI view with temporal evolution.

Note: ISI Web of Science (WOS) was adopted as the data source of case study.• Author Index (AI) refers to the statistics of multidisciplinary data usage from the whole-set papers,

Where is the Paper numbers using the specific data in whole-set papers and is the whole-set paper numbers.• Reader Index(RI) refers to the statistics of multidisciplinary data usage from the High-cited papers,

Where is the Paper numbers using the specific data in High-cited papers and is the High-cited paper numbers.
