Hydrographic data from the GEF Patagonia cruises

Huddl: the Hydrographic Universal Data Description Language

Resumen Since many of the attempts to introduce a universal hydrographic data format have failed or have been only partially successful, a different approach is proposed. Our solution is the Hydrographic Universal Data Description Language (HUDDL), a descriptive XML-based language that permits the creation of a standardized description of (past, present, and future) data formats, and allows for...

A Data Capture System for Hydrographic Maps

The main part of the thesis is five separate research papers published in or submitted to leading journals in the field of computer vision and pattern recognition. In addition, a data capture system for hydrographic maps has been designed and implemented. It places the results of the thesis papers in context and demonstrate their importance. The five thesis papers are [1] Øivind Due Trier and T...

Extraction of Hydrographic Regions from Remote Sensing

HUDDL for description and archive of hydrographic binary data

Many of the attempts to introduce a universal hydrographic binary data format have failed or have been only partially successful. In essence, this is because such formats either have to simplify the data to such an extent that they only support the lowest common subset of all the formats covered, or they attempt to be a superset of all formats and quickly become cumbersome. Neither choice works...

Adding Biodiversity Datasets from Argentinian Patagonia to the Web of Data

This poster presents a framework to publish biodiversity data from Argentinian Patagonia as Linked Open Data (LOD). These datasets contains information of biological species (mammals, plants, parasites, among others) that have been collected by researchers from the Centro Nacional Patagónico (CENPAT), and have initially been made available as Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A).
