Abstract
The
pressure of opening access to public sector geospatial information traditionally
managed within disparate spatial data infrastructures (SDI) is driven by a
combination of factors. These factors include the adoption of open data programs
and the need to integrate spatial data across sectors and levels of government
for specific applications. Informed by the success of the Linked Open Data
community, efforts to leverage Linked Data in enabling global access to spatial
data currently managed within national and regional SDIs are emerging. However,
these early efforts do not provide guidelines for implementing such Linked SDI
nor articulate the socio-technical requirements for a successful Linked
Geospatial Data strategy. By analyzing existing SDI architectures and emerging
Linked SDI requirements, we develop Reference Architecture for building
interoperable Linked SDIs.
