TL;DR
This paper describes the development of a semantic infrastructure within the GIIDA project, focusing on the EARTh thesaurus and its web-based and SKOS implementations to enhance interoperability and support Semantic Web applications.
Contribution
It introduces a web-based tool for EARTh thesaurus access and a SKOS version to facilitate semantic interoperability in environmental information systems.
Findings
The web-based system supports multilingual navigation and advanced search features.
The SKOS version enables integration with Semantic Web technologies.
The system enhances interoperability between environmental information systems.
Abstract
The GIIDA project aims to develop a digital infrastructure for the spatial information within CNR. It is foreseen to use semantic-oriented technologies to ease information modeling and connecting, according to international standards like the ISO/IEC 11179. Complex information management systems, like GIIDA, will take benefit from the use of terminological tools like thesauri that make available a reference lexicon for the indexing and retrieval of information. Within GIIDA the goal is to make available the EARTh thesaurus (Environmental Applications Reference Thesaurus), developed by the CNR-IIA-EKOLab. A web-based software, developed by the CNR-Water Research Institute (IRSA) was implemented to allow consultation and utilization of thesaurus through the web. This service is a useful tool to ensure interoperability between thesaurus and other systems of the indexing, with, the idea of…
