To better understand climate, historical climate(e.g. archived meteorological variables such as temperature, wind, water, etc.) and climate-related data (e.g. geographical features and human activities) are widely used by today’s climate research to derive models for an explainable climate change and its effects. However, such data sources are often dispersed across a multitude of disconnected data silos on the Web. Moreover, there is a lack of advanced climate data platforms to enable multi-source heterogeneous climate data analysis, therefore, researchers must face a stern challenge in collecting and analyzing multi-source data. In this paper, we address this problem by proposing a climate knowledge graph for the integration of multiple climate data and other data sources into one service, leveraging Web technologies (e.g. HTTP) for multi-source climate data analysis. The proposed knowledge graph is primarily composed of data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s daily climate summaries, OpenStreetMap, and Wikidata, and it supports joint data queries on these widely used databases. This paper shows, with a use case in Ireland and the United Kingdom, how climate researchers could benefit from this platform as it allows them to easily integrate datasets from different domains and geographical locations.

Public [article]  inComputers, Environment and Urban Systems > vol 98 (December 2022) . - n° 101884 Titre : Performance benchmark on semantic web repositories for spatially explicit knowledge graph applications Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Wenwen Li, Auteur ; Sizhe Wang, Auteur ; Sheng wu, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 101884 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Infrastructure de données [Termes IGN] base de données relationnelles [Termes IGN] entrepôt de données [Termes IGN] ontologie [Termes IGN] RDF [Termes IGN] référentiel sémantique [Termes IGN] requête spatiale [Termes IGN] réseau sémantique [Termes IGN] SPARQL [Termes IGN] stockage de données [Termes IGN] test de performance [Termes IGN] web sémantique Résumé : (auteur) Knowledge graph has become a cutting-edge technology for linking and integrating heterogeneous, cross-domain datasets to address critical scientific questions. As big data has become prevalent in today's scientific analysis, semantic data repositories that can store and manage large knowledge graph data have become critical in successfully deploying spatially explicit knowledge graph applications. This paper provides a comprehensive evaluation of the popular semantic data repositories and their computational performance in managing and providing semantic support for spatial queries. There are three types of semantic data repositories: (1) triple store solutions (RDF4j, Fuseki, GraphDB, Virtuoso), (2) property graph databases (Neo4j), and (3) an Ontology-Based Data Access (OBDA) approach (Ontop). Experiments were conducted to compare each repository's efficiency (e.g., query response time) in handling geometric, topological, and spatial-semantic related queries. The results show that Virtuoso achieves the overall best performance in both non-spatial and spatial-semantic queries. The OBDA solution, Ontop, has the second-best query performance in spatial and complex queries and the best storage efficiency, requiring the least data-to-RDF conversion efforts. Other triple store solutions suffer from various issues that cause performance bottlenecks in handling spatial queries, such as inefficient memory management and lack of proper query optimization.

Narrative cartography with knowledge graphs / Gengchen Mai in Journal of Geovisualization and Spatial Analysis, vol 6 n° 1 (June 2022)  

Public [article]  inJournal of Geovisualization and Spatial Analysis > vol 6 n° 1 (June 2022) Titre : Narrative cartography with knowledge graphs Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Gengchen Mai, Auteur ; Weiming Huang, Auteur ; Ling Cai, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géomatique web [Termes IGN] ArcGIS [Termes IGN] cartographie ancienne [Termes IGN] cartographie par internet [Termes IGN] données spatiotemporelles [Termes IGN] géovisualisation [Termes IGN] modèle d'ontologie [Termes IGN] ontologie [Termes IGN] réseau sémantique [Termes IGN] SPARQL [Termes IGN] système d'information géographique [Termes IGN] web sémantique Résumé : (auteur) Narrative cartography is a discipline which studies the interwoven nature of stories and maps. However, conventional geovisualization techniques of narratives often encounter several prominent challenges, including the data acquisition & integration challenge and the semantic challenge. To tackle these challenges, in this paper, we propose the idea of narrative cartography with knowledge graphs (KGs). Firstly, to tackle the data acquisition & integration challenge, we develop a set of KG-based GeoEnrichment toolboxes to allow users to search and retrieve relevant data from integrated cross-domain knowledge graphs for narrative mapping from within a GISystem. With the help of this tool, the retrieved data from KGs are directly materialized in a GIS format which is ready for spatial analysis and mapping. Two use cases — Magellan’s expedition and World War II — are presented to show the effectiveness of this approach. In the meantime, several limitations are identified from this approach, such as data incompleteness, semantic incompatibility, and the semantic challenge in geovisualization. For the later two limitations, we propose a modular ontology for narrative cartography, which formalizes both the map content (Map Content Module) and the geovisualization process (Cartography Module). We demonstrate that, by representing both the map content and the geovisualization process in KGs (an ontology), we can realize both data reusability and map reproducibility for narrative cartography.

Public [article]  inThe Knowledge Engineering Review > vol 37 (2022) . - n° e2 Titre : A survey on semantic question answering systems Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Christina Antoniou, Auteur ; Nick Bassiliades, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° e2 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géomatique web [Termes IGN] entrepôt de données [Termes IGN] interface web [Termes IGN] requête (informatique) [Termes IGN] SPARQL [Termes IGN] web des données [Termes IGN] web sémantique Résumé : (auteur) Recently, many question answering systems that derive answers from linked data repositories have been developed. The purpose of this survey is to identify the common features and approaches of the semantic question answering (SQA) systems, although many different and prototype systems have been designed. The SQA systems use a formal query language like SPARQL and knowledge of a specific vocabulary. This paper analyses different frameworks, architectures, or systems that perform SQA and classifies SQA systems based on different criteria.

A web GIS-based integration of 3D digital models with linked open data for cultural heritage exploration / Ikrom Nishanbaev in ISPRS International journal of geo-information, vol 10 n° 10 (October 2021)  

Public [article]  inISPRS International journal of geo-information > vol 10 n° 10 (October 2021) . - n° 684 Titre : A web GIS-based integration of 3D digital models with linked open data for cultural heritage exploration Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Ikrom Nishanbaev, Auteur ; Erik Champion, Auteur ; David A. McMeekin, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 684 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géomatique web [Termes IGN] Australie [Termes IGN] carte interactive [Termes IGN] édition en libre accès [Termes IGN] hétérogénéité [Termes IGN] informatique en nuage [Termes IGN] interface de programmation [Termes IGN] interopérabilité [Termes IGN] métadonnées [Termes IGN] modélisation 3D [Termes IGN] patrimoine culturel [Termes IGN] QGIS [Termes IGN] SPARQL [Termes IGN] visualisation 3D [Termes IGN] web des données [Termes IGN] WebSIG Résumé : (auteur) In recent years, considerable efforts have been made by cultural heritage institutions across the globe to digitise cultural heritage sites, artifacts, historical maps, etc. for digital preservation and online representation. On the other hand, ample research projects and studies have been published that demonstrate the great capabilities of web-geographic information systems (web-GIS) for the dissemination and online representation of cultural heritage data. However, cultural heritage data and the associated metadata produced by many cultural heritage institutions are heterogeneous. To make this heterogeneous data more interoperable and structured, an ever-growing number of cultural heritage institutions are adopting linked data principles. Although the cultural heritage domain has already started implementing linked open data concepts to the cultural heritage data, there are not many research articles that present an easy-to-implement, free, and open-source-based web-GIS architecture that integrates 3D digital cultural heritage models with cloud computing and linked open data. Furthermore, the integration of web-GIS technologies with 3D web-based visualisation and linked open data may offer new dimensions of interaction and exploration of digital cultural heritage. To demonstrate the high potential of integration of these technologies, this study presents a novel cloud architecture that attempts to enhance digital cultural heritage exploration by integrating 3D digital cultural heritage models with linked open data from DBpedia and GeoNames platforms using web-GIS technologies. More specifically, a digital interactive map, 3D digital cultural heritage models, and linked open data from DBpedia and GeoNames platforms were integrated into a cloud-based web-GIS architecture. Thus, the users of the architecture can easily interact with the digital map, visualise 3D digital cultural heritage models, and explore linked open data from GeoNames and DBpedia platforms, which offer additional information and context related to the selected cultural heritage site as well as external web resources. The architecture was validated by applying it to specific case studies of Australian cultural heritage and seeking expert feedback on the system, its benefits, and scope for improvement in the near future.
