THE climateprediction.net PROJECT
Briefly about:
The climateprediction.net
is the largest climate modelling experiment ever undertaken and builds upon hundreds of millions of dollars of international
research effort over the past 20-30 years. It uses a state-of-the-art simulation of the climate system, which runs
on thousands of users' PCs. Project participants will be able to download and run different parametrizations of a climate
simulation program, thus providing data for studying climate change.

Challenge for KMi:
KMi's role in the project is to develop a robust semantic web portal for the
community of participants. A mixture of technologies will be used to support
rich interactive facilities (incl. discussion forums, news service, conferencing
and instant messaging). This portal will also use state-of-the-art semantic web
technology (developed in KMi) to provide fully customisable 'semantic filters'
that can be placed over any web-based document (whether local or remote), and
provide the user with the context of identified 'concepts-of-interests'.

SEMANTIC ENGINE
Magpie:
Magpie is an experimental Semantic Web 'filter' developed at The Open University's Knowledge Media Institute.
It works as a streamlined toolbar that sits within your web browser, and helps you find and further elaborate things you
are interested in.
