Abstract

Building on abstract reference models, the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) has established standards for storing, discovering, and processing geographical information. These standards act as basis for the implementation of specific services and Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI). Research on geo-semantics plays an increasing role to support complex queries and retrieval across heterogeneous information sources, as well as for service orchestration, semantic translation, and on-the-y integration. So far, this research targets individual solutions or focuses on the Semantic Web, leaving the integration into SDI aside. What is missing is a shared and transparent semantic enablement layer for Spatial Data Infrastructures which also integrates reasoning services known from the Semantic Web. Focusing on Sensor Web Enablement (SWE), we outline how Spatial Data Infrastructures in general can benet from such a semantic enablement layer. Instead of developing new semantically
enabled services from scratch, we propose to create profiles of existing services that implement a transparent mapping between the OGC and the Semantic Web world.
