Linking Earth observation data with ground truth from the open web
Abstract
This paper presents a system for linking Earth Observation with open Web data, into a Linked Open Data architecture. The architecture has two components, one for extracting signals from Earth Observation data, and another for harvesting web sources. Both are linked with spatial objects. Web scraped data, either from APIs or crowd-sourced websites are geo-referenced and thematically annotated with standard vocabularies. The architecture has been demonstrated in two case studies, one for building permits and another for crowd-sourced observations of invasive aquatic plants.
