Abstract. Recently we have seen a large increase in the amount of geospatial data that is being published using RDF and Linked Data principles. Efforts such as the W3C Geo XG, and most recently the GeoSPARQL initiative are providing the necessary vocabularies to publish this kind of information

The European Commission (EC) encourages and facilitates Member States to open up

We present three fundamental, interrelated approaches to support multiple access paths to each terminal object in information hierarchies: faceted clas-sification, faceted search, and web directories with embedded symbolic links. This survey aims to demonstrate how each approach supports users who

Abstract. The success of Open Data initiatives has increased the amount of data available on the Web. Unfortunately, most of this data is only available in raw tabular form, what makes analysis and reuse quite difficult for non-experts. Linked Data principles allow for a more sophisticated approach

adhering to the RDF data model, how this data can be interlinked with other spatial data sets, how it can be made accessible for machines according to the linked data paradigm and for humans by means of a faceted geo-data browser.

Abstract. Faceted Browsing, also known as Faceted Search, recently became a popular interface paradigm and is used as a visual selection mechanism to browse data collections. It is particularly suitable for structured, but heterogeneous data with explicit semantics. As the amount of this data

Abstract—The paper extends the traditional browser concept with a Semantic Web tailored faceted browser thus providing integrated end-user grade support for both legacy Web and Semantic Web content. The new browser provides interactive exploratory search and navigation capabilities as well as user

We present Humboldt, a novel user interface for browsing RDF data. Current user interfaces for browsing RDF data are reviewed. We argue that browsing tasks require both a facet browser’s ability to select and process groups of resources at a time and a ’resource at a time ’ browser’s ability

The World Wide Web contains a wealth of information from manufacturers of building products which needs to be gathered and reorganized in order to be used by designers. Currently there is a tendency to develop systems based on database architecture that require large amounts of structured data
