Abstract — In recent years the growth in popularity of digital photography, together with the availability of GPS devices and the developing in web technologies have extended the possibilities for managing and sharing large numbers of geotagged pictures. Among the huge number of possible applications that may link and discover geotagged resources, we present a prototype system in which an RDF description of pictures, including location and compass heading information, is used to discover geo-related pictures of a same city taken from different users. We propose a browsing interface, based on different levels of relationship between pictures metadata, that allows users to explore cities according to the relations discovered. I.
