Searching for metadata using knowledge bases and topic maps in Spatial Data Infrastructures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Concern for environmental issues has become a reality in all sectors of society, mainly among researchers and professionals who work directly with environmental status. In this context, several studies have been undertaken on sustainable development of the Brazilian Amazon, generating a large amount of data and information. Environmental area characterization involves the knowledge about their natural, economic and social resources, as well as understanding the interaction and correlation among them. Such interdisciplinary character requires new solutions for knowledge representation. This study proposes to minimize metadata recovery problems in Spatial Data Infrastructures by using Topic Maps and Thesaurus. This approach applied to an interface aims to allow users to visually recover information from metadata catalogs.

6/16/00 Abstract In this paper, we propose adding metadata to web for the purpose of performing semantics-based web searches and for producing multimedia presentations as a response to users’ requests. The model uses (a) topics and “topic maps” as metadata in reaching to relevant worldwide web documents, (b) topic prerequisites and corequisites, also called topic metalinks, to define metadata-b...

متن کاملIdentifying and Explaining Map Imperfections Through Knowledge Provenance Visualization
Applications deployed on cyber-infrastructures often rely on multiple data sources and distributed compute resources to access, process, and derive results. When application results are maps, it is possible that non-intentional imperfections can get introduced into the map generation processes because of several reasons including the use of low quality datasets, use of data filtering techniques...
