LinkedGeoData: Adding a Spatial Dimension to the Web of Data
by:In: The Semantic Web - ISWC 2009, Vol. 5823Springer
(2009)
, p. 731--746.
Abstract
In order to employ the Web as a medium for data and information
integration, comprehensive datasets and vocabularies are required
as they enable the disambiguation and alignment of other data
and information. Many real-life information integration and aggregation
tasks are impossible without comprehensive background knowledge
related to spatial features of the ways, structures and landscapes surrounding
us. In this paper we contribute to the generation of a spatial
dimension for the Data Web by elaborating on how the collaboratively
collected OpenStreetMap data can be transformed and represented adhering
to the RDF data model. We describe how this data can be interlinked
with other spatial data sets, how it can be made accessible
for machines according to the linked data paradigm and for humans by
means of a faceted geo-data browser.
