Bird Observations of Halias Bird Observatory with Weather Data

Linked Data Finland

★★★★★

This dataset contains systematic bird observations made at the Hanko Bird Observatory (Halias) during ca. 30 years.The data is provided originally by the Helsingin Seudun Lintutieteellinen Yhdistys Tringa r.y.. The data is integrated with weather observation data for the same time period. The weather data comes from the Finnish Meteorological Institute. Both datasets were transformed and integrated into Linked Data by SeCo in relation to the Open Science project National Research Data Initiative (TTA) directed by CSC - IT Center for Science. The enriched AVIO ontology of SeCo is used for describing bird species.

Detailed Dataset Contents

Halias observation data (URI: http://ldf.fi/halias/observations/)

( Browse data / Download )
  • Updated AVIO ontology of finnish bird species
    Ontology is based on work by Birdlife Finland and Finnish Museum of Natural History. The characteristics ontology and annotations are based on NatureGate's characteristics system and is compatible with it.

    • Schemas Used

    Following schemas (vocabularies) are used in the datasets above:

    URI Data Services

    Give the URI without brackets (<>) and without encoding.

    Human Use Case 1: Viewing the RDF Description of a URI

    View the RDF description of a URI using the template: http://ldf.fi/SERVICE/data?uri=URI

    URI:
    Format:
    View result in browser (accept header = text/plain)

    Human Use Case 2: Linked Data Browsing Starting from a URI

    Start browsing from a URI using the template http://ldf.fi/SERVICE/page?uri=URI

    URI:

    Machine Use Case: Getting the RDF Description of a Resource

    If the URI is dereferenceable, e.g., minted at the http://ldf.fi domain, just input the URI in a browser or use it in your favourite software. For example: URI=http://ldf.fi/finlex/laki/p35. If the URI is described in this LDF service you can use the URI template http://ldf.fi/SERVICE/data?uri=URI no matter whether the URI is dereferenceable or not: just input the URI in the form below:

    Give URI:

    Format:

    SPARQL Endpoint: http://ldf.fi/halias/sparql

    Queries are represented using the URI template: http://ldf.fi/SERVICE/sparql?query=QUERY

    Query Test Form


    Format:
    View result in original form in browser (content-type = text/plain).
    By default (XML/HTML and the "text/plain" check box not checked) the result is presented as an HTML table with links to related resources.
    Note: With DESCRIBE/CONSTRUCT queries "Text" format means Turtle, "CSV" and "TSV" formats cannot be used, and checking the "text/plain" check box presents the result in N-Triples.

    SPARQL Service Description

    Get the description in RDF. (Notice: A service description is not available for all datasets - then empty description is returned. If you open the link in browser you are directed to a SPARQL query form instead of the RDF description. You can access the service description by making an HTTP query without an Accept header (e.g. curl).) LDF uses W3C SPARQL Service Description recommendation for this.
