Abstract
myExperiment describes itself as a "Social Virtual Research Environment" that provides the ability to share Research Objects (ROs) over a social infrastructure to facilitate actioning of research. The my-Experiment Ontology is a logical representation of the data model used by this environment, allowing its data to to be published in a standard RDF format, whilst providing a generic extensible framework that can be reused by similar projects. ROs are data structures designed to semantically enhance research publications by capturing and preserving the research method so that it can be reproduced in the future. This paper provides some motivation for an RO specification and briefly considers how existing domain-specific ontologies might be integrated. It concludes by discussing the future direction of the myExperiment Ontology and how it will best support these ROs as well as align with scientific discourse ontologies.
