Creating Spatial Information Infrastructures - Towards the Spatial Semantic Web

Informationen zum Autor Peter van Oosterom, Sisi Zlatanova Klappentext Agreeing on the syntax and formats of spatial data and developing systems to handle these is the first step towards the spatial information infrastructure (SII). Although a set of standards has already been established, a wealth of other technical and non-technical aspects must still be addressed. Creating Spatial Information Infrastructures covers these issues in depth. This book reflects recent major initiatives to create an SII, including the European INSPIRE initiative and the US DHS Geospatial Data Model. International research contributors present up-to-date information on current research and standardization efforts for SII. This text also discusses semantic web technologies.
