Information Retrieval in Spatial Data Infrastructures Using Knowledge Representation Mechanisms
Abstract
Geographic information is a fundamental resource to public institutions to propose improvements to factors such as environmental protection, security and health. Spatial Data Infrastructure enables cooperation and sharing of geospatial data, however, the open and distributed nature of these infrastructures is a factor that increases the difficulty of retrieval and sharing of such data. This paper presents a proposal supported by artifacts of knowledge representation, which seeks to minimize problems related to the semantic information retrieval in metadata catalogs in a Spatial Data Infrastructure.References
