Abstract:
Increasing availability of geospatial data provides exceptional opportunities in knowledge creation and distribution. For the discovery of suitable data sources, keyword based search in the catalogue becomes inaccurate. The main reason behind this is the existing semantic heterogeneity in the database schema, deployed by different service providers. It necessitates the semantic management of the spatial catalogues. This paper presents an ontology based approach which is useful to create and manage catalogues semantically, hence resolving the semantic heterogeneity between geospatial repositories and incompatibility with spatial queries. Further, there is no standard available for semantic searching of the spatial catalogue till date. It will enhance the data extraction process by providing semantic meaning to the spatial catalogue.
