“…Semantic Web techniques and strategies were distinctly popular within the inputs group, and there were a range of articles that spoke about the processes and procedures needed to develop and maintain linked data-oriented tools (Kauppinen et al, 2014;Wu et al, 2013;Sarmiento Suárez and Jiménez-Guarín, 2014;Azevedo, Bastos and Parreiras, 2015;Han et al, 2015). Once again, these were often focused on the technical processes needed to instantiate tools and procedures (Martin et al, 2014;Ribeiro and Almeida, 2012;Arman et al, 2014), and evaluations were centered on semantic Web principles and standards (Sarmiento Suárez and Jiménez-Guarín, 2014;Brito et al, 2014b) and the quality of data from an internal consistency point of view (Tavares et al, 2012;Martin et al, 2014;Kauppinen et al, 2014).…”

The purpose of this paper is to explore the field of open development in lower and middle income countries (LMIC) through a review of the literature. We examined 269 articles between 2010 and 2015, that were retrieved through keyword searches of the Scopus database and four ICT4D journals. This article adopts the pathway of effects model to analyze contributions according to inputs, mechanisms and outputs of open initiatives in LMICs. The review finds a fairly even spread of articles across the three stages of effects. Studies that disentangled reasons why or why not openness makes a difference provided the most insight to underlying mechanisms and impact of open initiatives. We found very little evidence that research within this area is concerned with the perspectives of poor and marginalized people – notably women. We therefore question the normative value of open development as a means to transform power relations. However, we argue that a more concentrated vision within this field is needed to exploit the full potential of digitally enabled openness for development.

a b s t r a c tLots of data from different domains are published as Linked Open Data (LOD). While there are quite a few browsers for such data, as well as intelligent tools for particular purposes, a versatile tool for deriving additional knowledge by mining the Web of Linked Data is still missing. In this system paper, we introduce the RapidMiner Linked Open Data extension. The extension hooks into the powerful data mining and analysis platform RapidMiner, and offers operators for accessing Linked Open Data in RapidMiner, allowing for using it in sophisticated data analysis workflows without the need for expert knowledge in SPARQL or RDF. The extension allows for autonomously exploring the Web of Data by following links, thereby discovering relevant datasets on the fly, as well as for integrating overlapping data found in different datasets. As an example, we show how statistical data from the World Bank on scientific publications, published as an RDF data cube, can be automatically linked to further datasets and analyzed using additional background knowledge from ten different LOD datasets.

“…Integrating Semantic Web concepts and technologies into various non-geospatial datasets and Web Services will allow for automatic orchestration and hence, increased productivity. As an example, Kauppinen (Kauppinen et al, 2014) has documented how semantic technologies are being integrated within Brazilian Amazon Rainforest data, that has led to increased productivity and efficiency in that area.…”

Current geospatial datasets and web services are disparate, obscure and difficult to expose to the world. With the advent of geospatial processes utilizing temporal data and big data, along with datasets continually increasing in size, the problem of underexposed datasets and web services is amplified. Current text search capabilities do not sufficiently expose web services and datasets for use in on-the-fly geospatial use cases. End users are required to know the exact location of these online resources, their format and what they do. For example, to locate an OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium-http://www.opengeospatial.org)-compliant WPS (Web Processing Service) that performs flood modelling, a Google Search for "Flood Modelling WPS" is insufficient to find relevant results. This paper proposes the integration of semantic web concepts and technologies into geospatial datasets and web services, making it possible to link these datasets and services via functionality, the inputs required and the outputs produced. To do so requires the extensive use of metadata to allow for a standardised form of description of their function. There are already ISO (International Organization for Standardization-www.iso.org) standards in place (ISO 19115-1:2014) that specify the schema required for describing geographic information and services. The use of ontologies and AI (Artificial Intelligence) then allows for the intelligent determination of which web services and datasets to use, and in what order they are to be used to achieve the desired final output. This research aims to provide a method to automatically and intelligently chain together web services and datasets to assist in a geospatial analyst's productivity. A simple prototype termed CIAO-WPS (Chet's Intelligent, Automatically-Orchestrated Web Processing Services) is created as a proof of concept, using the Python programming language. The prototype seeks to reinforce ideas in regards to pathing and cost constraints, as well as explore overlooked designs.
