商品描述

Geographic Information has an important role to play in linking and combining datasets through shared location, but the potential is still far from fully realized because the data is not well organized and the technology to aid this process has not been available. Developments in the Semantic Web and Linked Data, however, are making it possible to integrate data based on Geographic Information in a way that is more accessible to users. Drawing on the industry experience of a geographer and a computer scientist, Linked Data: A Geographic Perspective is a practical guide to implementing Geographic Information as Linked Data.

Combine Geographic Information from Multiple Sources Using Linked Data

After an introduction to the building blocks of Geographic Information, the Semantic Web, and Linked Data, the book explores how Geographic Information can become part of the Semantic Web as Linked Data. In easy-to-understand terms, the authors explain the complexities of modeling Geographic Information using Semantic Web technologies and publishing it as Linked Data. They review the software tools currently available for publishing and modeling Linked Data and provide a framework to help you evaluate new tools in a rapidly developing market. They also give an overview of the important languages and syntaxes you will need to master. Throughout, extensive examples demonstrate why and how you can use ontologies and Linked Data to manipulate and integrate real-world Geographic Information data from multiple sources.

A Practical, Readable Guide for Geographers, Software Engineers, and Laypersons

A coherent, readable introduction to a complex subject, this book supplies the durable knowledge and insight you need to think about Geographic Information through the lens of the Semantic Web. It provides a window to Linked Data for geographers, as well as a geographic perspective for software engineers who need to understand how to work with Geographic Information. Highlighting best practices, this book helps you organize and publish Geographic Information on the Semantic Web with more confidence.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

地理信息在通過共享位置來連接和結合數據集方面扮演著重要角色,但由於數據組織不良且缺乏相應技術支持,其潛力尚未完全實現。然而,語義網和鏈接數據的發展使得基於地理信息的數據集更易於用戶訪問和整合成為可能。《鏈接數據:地理學視角》結合地理學家和計算機科學家的行業經驗,是一本實用指南,旨在將地理信息實現為鏈接數據。

在介紹地理信息、語義網和鏈接數據的基礎後,本書探討了如何將地理信息作為鏈接數據成為語義網的一部分。作者以易於理解的方式解釋了使用語義網技術建模地理信息和將其發布為鏈接數據的複雜性。他們回顧了目前可用於發布和建模鏈接數據的軟件工具,並提供了一個框架,幫助您評估快速發展市場中的新工具。他們還概述了您需要掌握的重要語言和語法。全書通過大量實例演示了為什麼以及如何使用本體論和鏈接數據來操作和整合來自多個來源的現實世界地理信息數據。

作為一個對於複雜主題的連貫易讀的介紹,本書提供了您需要通過語義網的視角來思考地理信息的持久知識和洞察力。它為地理學家提供了一個了解如何處理地理信息的地理學視角,同時也為需要理解如何處理地理信息的軟件工程師提供了一個地理學的視角。本書強調最佳實踐,幫助您更有信心地組織和發布語義網上的地理信息。
