Dear all,

We are happy to announce that the 4th International Workshop on
Geospatial Linked Data will be co-located with the European Semantic
Web Conference (ESWC) on 7th June 2021.

Details are published on the website: dice-group.github.io/GeoLD2021/

Abstract:
Geospatial data is vital for both traditional applications like
navigation, logistics, and tourism and emerging areas like autonomous
vehicles, smart buildings, and GIS on demand. Spatial linked data has
recently transitioned from experimental prototypes to national
infrastructure. However, the next generation of spatial knowledge
graphs will integrate multiple spatial datasets with the large number
of general datasets that contain some geospatial references (e.g.,
DBpedia, Wikidata). This integration, either on the public Web or
within organizations has immense socio-economic as well as academic
benefits. The upsurge in Linked data related presentations in the
recent Eurogeographics data quality workshop  shows the deep interest
in Geospatial Linked Data (GLD) in national mapping agencies. GLD
enables a web-based, interoperable geospatial infrastructure. This is
especially relevant for delivering the INSPIRE directive in Europe.
Moreover, geospatial information systems benefit from Linked Data
principles in building the next generation of spatial data applications
e.g., federated smart buildings, self-piloted vehicles, delivery drones
or automated local authority services.
This workshop invites papers covering the challenges and solutions for
handling with GLD, especially for building high quality, adaptable,
geospatial infrastructures and next-generation spatial applications. We
aim to demonstrate the latest approaches and implementations and to
discuss the solutions to challenges and issues arising from research
and industrial organizations.
The best papers will be invited to submit their extended version to the
special issue in the ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information
Semantic Spatial Web.

Topics of interest

•  GLD vocabularies and standards (GeoSPARQL, INSPIRE, W3C, OGC)
•  Extraction/transformation of GLD from native geospatial data sources
•  Integration (schema mapping, interlinking, fusion) techniques for
Geospatial RDF Data
•  Enrichment, quality and evolution of Linked Data with Geospatial
information
•  Machine Learning improving GLD processing
•  Distributed solutions for GLD management (storing, querying,
mapping)
•  Algorithms and tools for large scale, scalable GLD management
•  Efficient Indexing and Querying of GLD
•  Geospatial-specific Reasoning on RDF Data
•  Ranking techniques on querying Geospatial RDF Data
•  Advanced querying capabilities on Geospatial RDF Data
•  Benchmarking of GLD applications
•  GLD in social web platforms and applications
•  Visualization models/interfaces for browsing/authoring/querying GLD
•  Real world applications/use cases/paradigms using GLD
•  Evaluation/comparison of tools/libraries/frameworks for GLD
•  Data governance models for GLD
