Abstract: Basically semantic linkage technique is used to specify in computer readable form known facts or relationships that definitely exist between information objects like people, organizations, research results, etc. Recently developers also started using it to visualize scientists’ opinions or scientific hypotheses (e.g. inference/deduction, impact/usage, theoretical hierarchy, etc.) about relationships between research objects. Based on CERIF Link entity and the Semantic Layer and assuming that scientists typically re-use research objects by making relation-ships between them we propose a sketch of a research e-infrastructure semantic fragment, which allow scientists unlimited re-use of research information systems (RIS) content. After some development a semantic linkage technique provides scientists with tools and services for semantic linking of any pair of research objects, which metadata are available within content of any RIS. This application also allows scientists a decentralized development of semantic vocabularies that guarantee a covering by this technique any new types of relationships. In the paper we discuss information objects, tools and services which are necessary for proper functioning of proposed fragment of the research e-infrastructure. We also discuss a “quality control” topic which in this context is very important.

Abstract: When studying natural and artificial objects using satellite technology spectral data containing information on the distribution of reflecting / emitting properties of physical objects and materials by wavelength are of great importance. It should be noted that the prompt receipt of necessary spectral data from the above mentioned sources is usually the problem. This paper describes an approach to the development of the Bank of the spectral data that has advanced features that enable to realize not only the inquiry and search procedure, but rather a wide range of computational and applied procedures related to the spectral data and their attributes. Based on a systematic analysis of the subject area and the relational database model, a scheme, implemented by means of MS Access. A simple scheme of integration the database in the e-Infrastructure of permanent access to scientific resources of remote sense data is offered.
