Title Not Required the Wikification of Geospatial Metadata
نویسنده
چکیده
For decades, metadata has been the ever-present, cure-all solution to heterogeneous data integration and use. Yet, high-quality, ubiquitous metadata is extremely rare in practice. Current volunteered geographic information systems may provide insights on how the scientific community can produce and manage metadata for geospatial data infrastructures.

متن کاملMetadata Capture and Geospatial Records
When the electronic records that you are trying to preserve are unique, complex, and storage-hungry, they will quickly put an institution’s feet to the fire to come up with solutions. This has been the case for Utah, North Carolina, and Kentucky as we have tried to grapple with the needs and requirements of geospatial records in the grant-sponsored GeoMAPP project (http://www.geomapp.net). Much...
متن کاملSemantics-Aware Indexing of Geospatial Resources Based on Multilingual Thesauri: Methodology and Preliminary Results
Despite the structured nature of metadata associated with geospatial resources, the discovery functionality implemented by geoportals is primarily based on the syntactic matching of users’ search pattern against descriptive metadata, such as title, abstract, or keywords. As a consequence, the retrieval process is often hampered by linguistic issues related to multilingualism, semantic heterogen...
متن کاملAutomating geospatial metadata generation - An integrated data management and documentation approach
Geospatial metadata have long played an important role in the management of geospatial datasets. Often employed by institutions to organise, maintain and document their geographic resources internally, metadata may also provide a vehicle for exposing marketable data assets externally when contributed to on-line geospatial exchange initiatives. In spite of the numerous benefits it affords, obsta...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of Wuhan Geospatial Information Sharing Platform
Geospatial metadata, data, and services have been widely collected, developed and deployed in recent years. This flourishing of geospatial resources also added to the problem of geospatial heterogeneity. Interoperability research and implementation are needed for advancement in potential solutions to integrate and interoperate these widely dispersed geospatial resources. We design and implement...
