Abstract

In this paper we present a new concept of geospatial quality assurance that is currently planned to be implemented in the German Federal Agency of Cartography and Geodesy. Linked open data is being enriched with Semantic Web data in order to create thematic maps relevant to the population. We evaluate the quality of such enriched maps using a standardized process and look at the possible impacts of enriching Semantic Web data with open data sets of the Federal Agency of Cartography and Geodesy.
