Position paper on Expressing Relational Data as RDF

Spatial data is generally considered to be complex and difficult to integrate into users’ business processes. Therefore we are looking to semantic to improve our customers’ experience in two ways. Firstly, to provide the means to repurpose our data according to customers’ terminology, which will in effect increase our product portfolio. Secondly, the technology can facilitate the integration of our data with customers’ own, in a semantically meaningful way. This will thus increase the take up of our data; expand our markets into areas that traditionally could not afford to or didn’t know how to use our data and reduce errors in data integration due to implicit assumptions as to the meaning of the data.)
