Control, monitoring, analysis and dissemination of laboratory physical chemistry experiments using semantic web and broker technologies Abstract A suite of software was developed to control and monitor experimental and environmental data and used for probing of the air/water interface using Second Harmonic Generation. A centralised message broker enabled a common communication protocol between all objects in the system; experimental apparatus, data loggers, storage solutions and displays. The data and context are captured and represented in ways compatible with the Semantic Web. Experimental plans and the enactment are described using the oreChem experiments ontology; this provides the means to capture the metadata associated with the experimental process and the resulting data. Environmental data was stored in the Open Geospatial Consortium Sensor Observation Service (SOS). The SOS is part of the Sensor Web Enablement architecture; this describes a number of interoperable interfaces and metadata encodings for integrating sensors webs into the cloud. A mashup web interface was produced to link all these sources of information from a single point.
