Geographical linked data

Abstract

We present the process that has been followed for the development of an application that makes use of several heterogeneous Spanish public datasets that are related to administrative, hydrographic, and statistical domains. Our application aims at analysing existing relations between the Spanish coastal area and different statistical variables such as unemployment, population, dwelling, industry, and building trade. Moreover, we provide an important innovation with respect to other similar processes followed in other initiatives by dealing with the geometrical information of features.

Wildfire monitoring using satellite images, ontologies and linked geospatial data

“…stRDF and stSPARQL use OGC standards (Well-Known Text and Geography Markup Language) for the representation of geospatial data and are implemented in the open source spatiotemporal RDF store Strabon. 5 The presented wildfire monitoring service improves significantly the wildfire monitoring service used until now by NOA. The service is available on the web 6 and is operational and used by decision makers and emergency services in Greece since the fire season of 2012.…”

“…In [4] OpenStreetMap data are made available as RDF and queried using the declarative query language SPARQL. Using similar technologies, [5] portals such as LinkedGeoData 9 demonstrate that the development of useful Web applications might be just a few SPARQL queries away.…”

“…Recently, Linked Open Data Cloud has started being enriched with geospatial data. Two representative examples are [4,5]. In [4] OpenStreetMap data are made available as RDF and queried using the declarative query language SPARQL.…”

A sustainable process and toolbox for geographical linked data generation and publication: a case study with BTN100

“…*Correspondence: pespinoza@fi.upm.es 1 Ontology Engineering Group, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Boadilla del Monte 28660, Spain Full list of author information is available at the end of the article However, the generalized lack of use of semantics standards in the descriptions of the data elements within the data sources make it difficult to reuse them. Although progress in data availability, there are still plenty issues related to semantic interoperability; this is the ability of information systems to exchange data with unambiguous, shared meaning.…”
