TL;DR
The paper advocates for adopting Semantic Web technologies in astronomy to enhance data description, curation, and preservation, supporting the upcoming data-intensive research infrastructure.
Contribution
It proposes integrating Semantic Web practices into astronomy data management based on lessons from ADS development.
Findings
Semantic Web can improve astronomical data sharing
Incremental adoption benefits data reuse
Lessons from ADS inform future infrastructure
Abstract
Over the next decade we will witness the development of a new infrastructure in support of data-intensive scientific research, which includes Astronomy. This new networked environment will offer both challenges and opportunities to our community and has the potential to transform the way data are described, curated and preserved. Based on the lessons learned during the development and management of the ADS, a case is made for adopting the emerging technologies and practices of the Semantic Web to support the way Astronomy research will be conducted. Examples of how small, incremental steps can, in the aggregate, make a significant difference in the provision and repurposing of astronomical data are provided.
