Interoperabilita pro hodnocení ekosystémových služeb: Proč, jak, kdo a pro koho? Nový vědecký článek publikovaný v časopise Ecosystem Services pod vedením Kena Bagstada, výzkumného ekonoma z U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), výzkumníků z Ikerbasque na BC3, a dalších výzkumných úst…

🎯Pro pokrok v hodnocení ekosystémových služeb je třeba překročit rámec stávajících sítí a dosáhnout širšího konsensu.

📚Bagstad et al. (spoluautorka @zuzanahar.bsky.social ) ukazují, jak mohou #AI, sémantika a strojové uvažování podporovat interoperabilitu.

Artificial Intelligence for Environment & Sustainability

Together, ARIES & k.LAB are advancing #openscience to foster a sustainable future. Visit our website, enroll in our #free online course and follow our comms channels for updates and opportunities to get involved!

👉 all useful links s.mtrbio.com/aries_project

k.LAB is powered by an #opensource software stack designed for flexibility and scalability.

It includes a semantic modelling language (k.IM), a computational engine (k.Engine), and a suite of tools for developing, sharing, and executing scientific models.

#TechForGood

The system automatically resolves differences in units and scales, ensuring outputs are coherent and useful for decision-making.

This functionality supports a wide range of applications and enhances the overall reliability of scientific results.

#dataintegration #machinelearning #digitaltwins

k.LAB provides access to an integrated network of web-accessible models, catalogued and connected through #semantics.

This platform allows users to query information about specific concepts, merging natural science models with human behaviour models.

#IntegratedModels #code

💻What is k.LAB?

k.LAB is pioneering a fresh approach to #integratedmodelling, essential for understanding the complexities of linked human-natural systems. We combine various techniques into a single, powerful platform👇

#DataScience #openaccess #tech

To this point, we have primarily discussed ARIES, but it is just the best-known application developed using k.LAB technology.

k.LAB provides a powerful platform for integrated scientific modelling, supporting various techniques and data sources. #kLAB

+ klab.integratedmodelling.org

We envision a 🌎 where individuals, organisations & governments collaborate using reliable scientific #data

We create open methods for sharing & linking scientific models, leveraging advanced technology to improve research outcomes & enhance transparency in #science

🌐🌱Who are we?

ARIES is redefining #openscience by ensuring scientific data and models are #FAIR

Our #AI powered #knowledgecommons advances research in environmental #sustainability, empowering stakeholders to make informed decisions for a sustainable future
