Abstract
PIEDRA, Nelson and SUAREZ, Juan Pablo. Towards Semantic Interoperability for Smart and Sustainable Management of High Biodiversity Territories using SmartLand-LD. RISTI [online]. 2018, n.26, pp.104-121. ISSN 1646-9895. https://doi.org/10.17013/risti.26.104-121.
A present challenge in today's sustainable development efforts is to empower interoperability between variables and indicators across autonomous, distributed and heterogeneous information systems, and data service providers. Restricted access to data sources and services limits the capabilities of a smart and sustainable territory to improve social, environmental and economic aspects. This work presents a Semantic Web approach that supports the extraction, linked data transformation, integration, and exploitation of large-scale and heterogeneous territories data, with application to decision-making related with smart and sustainable development of territories. Motivated by the non-scalable character of conventional sustainable data management methods, as well as by the interoperability challenges present in contemporary data silos, the described framework- coined as SmartLand-LD - leverages the combined potential of diverse data sources. These include sensor streams, geo-data, scientific databases, related resources available from knowledge repositories, and other structured and non-structured open data sources. Through openness, knowledge graphs building, semantic interoperability, and open science collaborative techniques, the framework proposed enables the mapping and integration of data about sustainable development indicators in high biodiversity territories
