Currently, rapidly locating relevant data sources and assembling the most appropriate data on the Internet is a tremendously difficult task for researchers. To address these issues, this paper proposes the development of a high availability ontology-based water environmental data retrieval and visualization system (OntoWE). The OntoWE prototypes have two significant features. Firstly, it establishes a water environment domain ontology to offer facilities to alleviate semantic heterogeneity and associate semantic information with the data retrieval process. Secondly, it embraces the capability of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) and Silverlight to leverage the latest protocols of several open web service standards with the Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF). This system provides a centralized and easy-to-use interactive system which enables users to do a one-stop search, access and visualize different types of water data in a single environment. The feasibility and effectiveness of OntoWE system was demonstrated through several investigations about water quality data discovery and retrieval at basin scale in China.
