Remote Sensing Ontology Development for Earth Observation Data

Nasa Standards for Earth Remote Sensing Data

Earth Observing System (EOS) is one of NASA's large programs for Earth science and global change research. In order to process, distribute, and archive data from EOS satellites and to facilitate interdisciplinary research, NASA has developed the EOS Data and Information System (EOSDIS) that defines a set of standards to deal with remote sensing data. In EOSDIS, data are grouped into three conce...

Ontology Development for Interoperability of Observation Data

The Ontology registry system is developed to collect, manage and compare ontological information for integrating global observation data. Data sharing and data service such as support of metadata deign, structuring of data contents, support of text mining are applied for better use of data as data interoperability. Semantic network dictionary and gazetteers are constructed as a trans-disciplina...

Urban remote sensing How can earth observation support the sustainable development of urban environments?

Cities are centres of economy, policy, society and culture and more than half of the world’s population already lives in metropolitan areas. In the last decades the world has faced a constantly accelerating growth of urban areas a development which is closely related to a tremendous increase of the urban population. In 2007 the amount of urban residents has outnumbered the rural population for ...

Spectral Analysis for Earth Science: Investigations Using Remote Sensing Data

Remote sensing in the earth sciences has grown remarkably over the last decade. This growth has been spurred by rapid advances in technology that have opened up new avenues of analysis and inquiry. Of these advances, the merging of spectroscopy and imaging has been the most important. Spectroscopy has been used as a quantitative tool in the laboratory for many years and there exists a wealth of...
