Abstract
In late 2009 in Bristol County, RI there was a case of E. Coli contaminating the public water supply resulting in illnesses in the population, particularly young children. Residents requested information concerning when the contamination began, how it happened, and what measures were being taken to monitor and prevent future occurrences. That event reflected the increasing demand for direct and transparent access to ecological and environmental information, and inspired the Semantic Water Quality Portal (SemantAqua) project.;
