GeoTOD II linked data demonstrator is live

Posted by m.jackson on 21 December 2010 - 1:08pm

GeoTOD-II's linked data server, built using OGSA-DAI, is live, allowing geo-spatial data to be browsed and queried.

Over the past six months we have been providing the GeoTOD-II project with advice on using OGSA-DAI. GeoTOD-II, based at STFC, have been exploring ways of linking geographic information with location data. A lot of the required data is already available in existing databases (for example, in relational databases or files), so GeoTOD II built a framework, based on OGSA-DAI, to access this data and expose it as linked data. GeoTOD II have deployed a demonstration server which allows geo-spatial data from numerous sources to be browsed and queried. They have also created a GeoTOD-II SourceForge project to host their source code.
