Abstract

[Purpose/significance] Based on research papers relevant to scientific data semantic description, this paper gives a review on the research status and hot topics in this area, points out the weakness of current research, and proposes some suggestions to the development of domestic scientific data semantic description.[Method/process] Based on research papers and dissertations published from January 2007 to December 2016 on scientific data semantic description from authoritative data sources, this paper investigates the research topics using comparative and inductive research methodand review relevant research achievements.[Result/conclusion] The research results include:①The development of scientific data semantic description is not balanced, and the majority of research achievements are focus on the field of Natural Science.②It is easier to get insight into essential features and differences of semantic description methods based on analysis dimension of annotation depth, processing level and manifestation.③There are still some shortcomings in the research on scientific data semantic description, and further studies should focus on dynamic data semantic description, visual retrieval, data integration and knowledge discovery.
