Abstract

The interactions between the Sun, interplanetary space, near Earth space environment, the Earth's surface, and the power grid are, perhaps unsurprisingly, very complicated. The study of such requires the collaboration between many different organizations spanning the public and private sectors. Thus, an important component of studying space weather is the integration and analysis of heterogeneous information. As such, we have developed a modular ontology to drive the core of the data integration and serve the needs of a highly interdisciplinary community. This paper presents our preliminary modular ontology, for space weather research, as well as demonstrate a method for adaptation to a particular use-case, through the use of existential rules and explicit typing.
