1st Workshop on Challenges and Promise of Semantic Web Services 2nd Workshop on Challenges and Promise of Semantic Web
Contact Semantic Web services Research Network,

With the increasing reliance on the World
Wide Web and the technological developments in the search engines and
the interface as well as the vast amount of spatial and earth sciences
data and resources now located and available over the web, the number
of people who use web services is expanding. The geosciences community
is realising the potential that semantic web has to offer for development
of web-based geographic services. The recent developments in the Semantic
Web have great potential for the geospatial community, in specific,
because the focus on the incorporation of data semantics will lead to
better retrieval and more reliable integration methods by tapping into
the semantics during the search process on the web. Nevertheless, the
basic semantic web and the technological developments are not targeted
to the specific needs of the geospatial community. This talk will discuss
issues, challenges and opportunities in application of semantic technologies
to the geospatial domain.
