Original Title:
Semantic Search and Discovery for Earth Observation Products using Ontology Services
Translated title:
Σημασιολογική Αναζήτηση Δεδομένων από την Παρατήρηση της Γης με χρήση Οντολογιών
Summary:
Access to Earth Observation products remains difficult for end-users in most
domains. Although various search engines have been developed, these are
targeted for advanced Earth Observation users, and fail to support scientific
communities from other domains, as well as casual users not familiar with the
concepts of Earth Observation.In the context of this thesis, we developed
semantic technologies that were used to semantically enhance a search engine
for EO-netCDF product. We present how these technologies utilize ontology
services to substantially improve the ability of end-users to explore,
understand and exploit the vast amount of Earth Observation data that is
available nowadays.
