Summary:
In the context of this thesis we discuss about applying Semantic Web and Linked
Open Data technologies to Earth Observations applications. We present a fire
monitoring application of the National Observatory of Athens and we explain how
we improved this application by using the above technologies. We present the
semantic geospatial database system Strabon and we explain how we extended its
functionality in order to satisfy
the requirements of earth observation applications such as fire monitoring. We
present some geospatial datasets which we tranlsated into RDF and we published
according to the Linked Open Data principles. Further, we explain how these
datasets and the system Strabon were used for improving the accuracy of fire
monitoring data and for rapid generation of relevant maps. Finally we present
an evaluation of the improved application.
