Figure 2. Overview of end-to-end RDS system.

Figure 2

A. A user (content generator) at an institution enters information about institutional resources using the Biositemaps Editor.

B. The Biositemaps Editor generates an RDF file, stored locally on a server at the institution.

C. The location for that RDF is registered through the Biositemaps registry.

D. The RDS Query Tool searches content from the registered RDF files.

E. A researcher uses the query tool to search for resources.

F. The BRO is used by the Biositemaps Editor to provide valid values for the Resource Type property in the editor, and by the query tool to provide a list of terms by which the user can easily search for resources.
