FarolApp: Live Linked Data on Light Pollution
نویسندگان
چکیده
FarolApp is a mobile web application that aims to increase the awareness of light pollution by generating illustrative maps for cities and by encouraging citizens and public administrations to provide street light information in an ubiquitous and interactive way using online street views. In addition to the maps, FarolApp builds on existing sources to generate and provide up-to-date data by crowdsourced user annotations. Generated data is available as dereferenceable Linked Data resources in several RDF formats and via a queryable SPARQL endpoint. We propose Live Linked Data, a new approach to publish data about city infrastructures trying to keep them synchronized leveraging the collaboration of citizens. The demo presented in this paper illustrates how FarolApp maintains continuously evolving Linked Data that reflect the current status of city street light infrastructures and use that data to generate light pollution maps.

متن کاملThe new world atlas of artificial night sky brightness
Artificial lights raise night sky luminance, creating the most visible effect of light pollution-artificial skyglow. Despite the increasing interest among scientists in fields such as ecology, astronomy, health care, and land-use planning, light pollution lacks a current quantification of its magnitude on a global scale. To overcome this, we present the world atlas of artificial sky luminance, ...
