Prototypes of a web system for citizen provided information, automatic knowledge extraction, knowledge management and GIS integration

Abstract

This paper presents preliminary results of work conducted within the INDECT project, Deliverable D4.14. The main goal of this deliverable is to develop a web system for acquisition of information from citizens, automatic knowledge extraction and knowledge management with GIS features. The paper presents three prototype systems and outlines their functionality. Social features have been implemented to encourage users to actively participate in data acquisition. Each of the presented systems offers a slightly different functionality and is based on a somewhat different conceptual model. The prototypes have been developed with the use of various software development technologies and tools for practical evaluation of each of the possible approaches. The results presented here constitute the basis for the implementation of the final system. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
