Résumé
The anaeeThes thesaurus aims at providing a controlled vocabulary for the semantic description of the study of continental ecosystems and their biodiversity. It has been developed within the framework of the AnaEE-France infrastructure through an iterative process combining both top down and bottom up approaches: import of concepts from other thesauri and collection of concepts used in the AnaEE data bases and/or modeling platforms. The thesaurus consists of concepts handled in different main thematic areas:Abiotic (atmosphere, climate, hydrosphere, litosphere, …); Biotic (animals, plants, micro-organisms, biodiversity, …); Chemical compounds; Experimentation and observation (instrument, method, protocol, measurement, quality, infrastructure …); Ecosystems (type, structure, functioning …); Modeling (formalism, platform, type of model, computer language …); Disciplines (disciplinary and scientific fields); Unit (units of the international system, inherited from the OBOE–standards ontology) anaeeThes contains 12 top concepts. It contains nearly 3320 concepts, of which about 1500 are also offered in French. 360 concepts are inherited from the OBOE-standards ontology, while 748 concepts about soils and their characteristics were created using the « Référentiel pédologique 2008 – AFES» and « World reference base for soil resources 2006 – FAO ». Approximately 400 concepts are mapped to Agrovoc and 280 to Gemet thesauri. Approximately 480 concepts have a definition.The hierarchy offers up to 8 depth levels. Although the headings of the first and second levels are now stable, it is still evolving, especially on the issue of translation and mapping/alignment.

Existing differences in soil biodiversity data quality and geographic distribution seriously hamper effective use of available knowledge. The MINOTAUR project aims to optimize the data coupling, harmonization and analysis of soil biodiversity from various national and European data sources to support long-term harmonized European soil information and soil health monitoring. A standardized template for each data type was developed to collect soil biodiversity data. Soil biodiversity (macro fauna to microbes) data were collected 59 data sources (dataset, database, data warehouse) and 62 European projects. Collected biodiversity data along with meta-data were assessed and harmonized using standardized templates. The OpenADOM (Open source Application for Data Organization & Management), platform enables the creation of Information Systems (IS) quite rapidly and supports data sharing using FAIR principles. OpenADOM enables to describe the data model using a specific syntax with indentation to represent data structure and nesting. Data from different soil biological groups (macro, meso and micro fauna, bacteria and fungi) are linked to metadata (e.g. country, soil type, agricultural practices…). So far, macrofauna data were collected from over 9000 samples across 35 European countries. The use of OpenADOM platform allowed the rapid development of an IS for the MINOTAUR database, which otherwise would have been more time consuming considering the diverse set of data and meta-data types to be described and harmonized. The Minotaur database provides valuable information on harmonized soil biodiversity, supporting policy analysis and promoting soil biodiversity in global sustainability efforts.

The study of ecosystem functioning requires multidisciplinary approaches and mobilises numerous research teams. The data produced are very abundant but their reuse and integration is often difficult due to their low level of standardisation. The development of semantic interoperability is a major challenge for the sharing and reuse of these data. This objective is implemented within the framework of the AnaEE research infrastructure dedicated to experimentation on ecosystems. The modelling of the experimental system is based on the OBOE ontology extended for disciplinary needs. It covers the measured variables, the different components of the experimental context, from sensor and plot to network, by the atomic decomposition of the observed entities, their characteristics and their qualification, the units and naming standards. This modelling allows the semantic annotation of relational databases and flat files for the production of graph databases. Carried out on all the data generated by the experimental platforms, this practice produces semantically interoperable data that meets the linked opendata standards. The work carried out contributes to the development and use of semantic vocabularies within the ecology research community.
