Searching for geospatial government-produced data
Nancy Wiegand · 2005
This poster investigates problems and solutions for searching the Web for geospatial data produced by various levels of government. Currently, geospatial data to meet particular needs are difficult to find. We suggest using Internet DBMS and Semantic Web technology to improve search techniques over metadata by using context-oriented search phrases, full query expressions, and semantic mappings. Furthermore, automatic searching for data is possible using an Internet DBMS that ranges over Web published metadata and consults semantic mapping expressions of models and terms.
