“…• We shared a subset of data by publishing in GET-IT the superficial (at the sea surface) value for each observation and for each parameter in the database. Metadata of the sensors are also shared in GET-IT, using Sensor Metadata Language (SensorML) edited by using the EDI interface [21,22], which is a powerful metadata editor, developed for RITMARE project as well. These metadata are accessible following this link: http://vesk.ve.ismar.cnr.it/sensors/.…”

“…A server-side component, written in Java, executes the actual translation of the user input in both the XML and RDF representations that allow us to demonstrate metadata delegation in this paper. This tool (please refer [40,[43][44][45] for further information) allows for a threefold exploitation of RDF data structures; namely:…”

Geospatial metadata are often encoded in formats that either are not aimed at efficient retrieval of resources or are plainly outdated. Particularly, the quantum leap represented by the Semantic Web did not induce so far a consistent, interlinked baseline in the geospatial domain. Datasets, scientific literature related to them, and ultimately the researchers behind these products are only loosely connected; the corresponding metadata intelligible only to humans, duplicated in different systems, seldom consistently. We address these issues by relating metadata items to resources that represent keywords, institutes, researchers, toponyms, and virtually any RDF data structure made available over the Web via SPARQL endpoints. Essentially, our methodology fosters delegated metadata management as the entities referred to in metadata are independent, decentralized data structures with their own life cycle. Our example implementation of delegated metadata envisages: (i) editing via customizable web-based forms (including injection of semantic information); (ii) encoding of records in any XML metadata schema; and (iii) translation into RDF. Among the semantics-aware features that this practice enables, we present a worked-out example focusing on automatic update of metadata descriptions. Our approach, demonstrated in the context of INSPIRE metadata (the ISO 19115/19119 profile eliciting integration of European geospatial resources) is also applicable to a broad range of metadata standards, including non-geospatial ones.

“…Beside this, data providers featured different degrees of maturity with regard to the provisioning of assets according to the mandated standards: This means that, in the development of the infrastructure, much effort was devoted to capacity building on the data provider-side. Moreover, being a national project, the RITMARE SDI is bound to the rules set by INSPIRE as well as by RNDT: Thus metadata management has a key role in the required architecture [31,32]. This has been achieved by providing a virtual appliance, the Geoinformation Enabling ToolkIT software suite (http://www.get-it.it/), GET-IT for short, a FOSS product that is capable of kickstarting an autonomous node in the SDI for the collection, annotation, and deployment of geospatial data.…”

Abstract:Metadata management is an essential enabling factor for geospatial assets because discovery, retrieval, and actual usage of the latter are tightly bound to the quality of these descriptions. Unfortunately, the multi-faceted landscape of metadata formats, requirements, and conventions makes it difficult to identify editing tools that can be easily tailored to the specificities of a given project, workgroup, and Community of Practice. Our solution is a template-driven metadata editing tool that can be customised to any XML-based schema. Its output is constituted by standards-compliant metadata records that also have a semantics-aware counterpart eliciting novel exploitation techniques. Moreover, external data sources can easily be plugged in to provide autocompletion functionalities on the basis of the data structures made available on the Web of Data. Beside presenting the essentials on customisation of the editor by means of two use cases, we extend the methodology to the whole life cycle of geospatial metadata. We demonstrate the novel capabilities enabled by RDF-based metadata representation with respect to traditional metadata management in the geospatial domain.
