Linked Open Data for Global Disaster Risk
Research Task Group
a hand-in-hand collaboration mechanism between CODATA and IRDR
Summary of the 1st Phase
1.
Introduction
Process
2012 LODGD task group was set up and approved by CODATA
2013-2014 1st Phase finished
2015-2016 2nd Phase approved
Objective
Linked 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

4. Study case
The Upper level is technical
approach employed
The Lower level is knowledge
about disaster events and the
multidisciplinary data.

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.
