Date: Thursday February 25, 2021

Start time: 5pm Berlin, 4pm Dublin and 11am New York and 8am San Francisco Times

Location: online zoom

As discussed at the ApacheCon 2020 Jena Track we would like to organize a GeoSpatial Semantic Web Use Cases session to further learn more about our users.

It's almost 14 years since we have introduced the first geospatial features to Jena and we are now fortunate to offer an OGC compliant GeoSPARQL module along with the Apache Jena release cycle.

If you have a use case or just an application that makes use of spatial features in Jena please consider to make a contribution to this event by presenting your use case. Please get in touch! These examples should not be limited to the use of the latest release of the Jena spatial module or Jena for that matter but any use of spatial data (e.g doesn't have to use geometries) is welcome.

Consolidation and extension of the semantic web with spatial-temporal data models and open APIs

This workshop is a timely opportunity to build on the call for consolidation of previous developments of ontologies, linked data, and knowledge graphs. Apache projects, such as Apache Jena, serve as a basis for consolidation and advancement of the semantic geospatial web. Previous experiments demonstrated building blocks toward a system of real-world feature identifiers and the use of APIs for resource access. More work is needed to establish best practices related to negotiation between varied representations of a feature, observations related to a feature, and for expressing and mediating between varied content from a given resource. Further developments of the GeoSPARQL standard for space and time as well as with non-geographic spatial data have been identified. Standards in Discrete Global Grid Systems along with implementations of DGGS provide new methods for linked open spatial data. Use cases for the future semantic geospatial web will consolidate use of spatial concepts, extend to discrete space, and enhance linked data and property graphs for spatial data in time.
