**Authors:** Christian Zinke-Wehlmann, Amit Kirschenbaum

arXiv: 1906.05366 · 2020-09-04

## TL;DR

Geo-L is a system that simplifies linking and integrating geospatial Linked Data by efficiently discovering spatial links based on topological relations, improving accuracy and retrieval performance.

## Contribution

The paper introduces Geo-L, a novel system for discovering RDF spatial links using topological relations, enhancing existing spatial linking methods.

## Key findings

- Improves mapping-time and accuracy in spatial linking
- Enhances resources retrieval efficiency and robustness
- Outperforms state-of-the-art spatial linking processes

## Abstract

Geospatial Linked Data is an emerging domain with growing interest in research and industry. There is an increasing number of publicly available geospatial Linked Data resources and they need to be interlinked and easily integrated with private and industrial Linked Data on the Web. The present paper introduces Geo-L, a system for discovery of RDF spatial links based on topological relations. Experiments show that the proposed system improves state-of-the-art spatial linking processes in terms of mapping-time and -accuracy, as well as concerning resources retrieval efficiency and robustness.
