Workflow for semantic data conversion. Workflow showing how spreadsheets used during field collecting can be brought into a linked open data context, with conversions from core RDF/XML data and EML metadata formats into tools for further discovery (e.g. Darwin Core Archives) or for archiving and publishing (ISA-Tab). Such conversions are not “lossless” but they do move the data sources to well-established and needed consumers or publication venues such as Scientific Data. Answers to scientific queries require the additional input of ontologies. Rounded rectangles represent information content entities and ovals represent conversion tools.
