Geographical linked data: A Spanish use case

Abstract

We present the process that has been followed for the development of an application that makes use of several heterogeneous Spanish public datasets that are related to administrative, hydrographic, and statistical domains. Our application aims at analysing existing relations between the Spanish coastal area and different statistical variables such as unemployment, population, dwelling, industry, and building trade. Moreover, we provide an important innovation with respect to other similar processes followed in other initiatives by dealing with the geometrical information of features. © 2010 ACM.
