SAFOD Brittle Microstructure and Mechanics Knowledge Base (BM2KB)
Brittle microstructures in the fault rocks from the SAFOD cores are modeled in the BM2KB ontology. BM2KB uses OWL to build the ontology, SPARQL to allow queries, and Pellet to perform reasoning. Data are submitted to the BM2KB knowledge base by instantiating classes and properties on the Web. Submitted data are presented to all kinds of users through a set of Java-based Web GUI. The interface also allows general search or search by sample or investigator of the knowledge base.
