Dear Colleagues,

you're cordially invited to submit a manuscript for the Geodata Management
Special Issue to be published in Geosciences (http://www.mdpi.com/journal/g
eosciences), an open access journal of geoscience, future earth and
planetary science, published quarterly online by MDPI, Indexed by Scopus
(citescore 1.67) and ESCI (Web of Science).

Geodata management applies data management principles to geospatial data,
promoting proper data curation and preservation to enable data
discoverability, access, and sharing for geographical and spatio-temporal
data produced in a number of different domains, from atmospheric to ocean
data, biodiversity, forest, crop, urbanization, transportation and energy.
Geodata management is then a key enabler for the development of global
research infrastructures progressing research to tackle societal challenges
like climate change, ocean and biodiversity preservation, clean and safe
energy, food security, and providing evidence and facts in support of the
related innovation policies. Scientists, decision makers, citizens, and
entrepreneurs: All may benefit from the increased number of scientific
geographical and spatio-temporal data produced when these comply with
common standards and interoperable sharing services are used; they may
further profit if data are harmonised, making a shift from metadata to data
interoperability to enable full reuse of software and to allow smoothly to
expand the analysis on enlarged areas.

Open issues to address relate to the semantic enrichment of data, as well
as to the adoption of domain and cross-domain conventions and the
definition of common vocabularies for observations variables to enable data
reuse in multiple domains. Similarly, the specification of reference
quality checks and standards for observation values is still work in
progress in most application domains.

This Special Issue solicits contributions on geodata and spatio-temporal
data management, to progress geodata interoperability towards uplifting
existing geodata research infrastructures to provide an effective support
to fact-driven e-governance and decision making and supporting the
development of innovative geodata driven economical opportunities.

For more details please visit the website:
http://www.mdpi.com/journal/geosciences/special_issues/geodata_management

Examples of possible contributions to this Special Issue include:

                • domain and cross-domain application of geodata and
spatio-temporal management standards
                • cross-domain geodata harmonisation initiatives and best
practices
                • reuse of open geodata
                • novel software solutions, services and architectures for
geodata management
                • geodata research infrastructures
                • use of geodata for e-governance
                • geodata in ontology and linked data
The deadline for manuscript submission is 15 April 2018.

Please contact me or the Editorial Office (geosciences at mdpi.com,
colin.chen at mdpi.com) if you have any questions.
