Meta-data generation of analysis tools and connection with structured meta-data of datasets
Teruaki Hayashi, Yukio Ohsawa · 2016
In recent years, the potential benefits of reusing and analyzing the massive quantities of data have been discussed among various stakeholders from diverse domains. In order to take advantage of results of data analyses, instead of forcing to open or share data, it is important to activate a Market of Data, where users select data which they want, negotiate with data owners, and get data at reasonable conditions. In previous studies, although the methods for sharing information of datasets have been proposed, a method for sharing information of analysis tools has not been mentioned. In this paper, we discuss a method for generating meta-data of data analysis tools (Tool Jacket). We propose a method for describing the information about analysis tools as Tool Jackets in natural language using RDF. Comparing with the descriptions of DBpedia, we found that Tool Jackets obtain multiple connections with meta-data of datasets, even with a small description.
