Abstract:
We present SPUD, a semantic environment for cataloguing, exploring, integrating, understanding, processing and transforming urban information. Such information comes from the Web, government authorities, social networks and Linked Data sources. We identify a scenario consisting of the following cases: (a) Publication of a dataset, focusing on privacy protection and semantic annotation of the dataset, (b) Reporting and Consolidation of multi-faceted information, focusing on searching and visualizing heterogenous data from several sources, including social media, linked data and government data, (c) Diagnosis, based on highly expressive reasoning. Through our demonstration, we show that semantic technologies can be used to obtain business results in an environment with hundreds of heterogenous real datasets coming from different data sources and spanning multiple domains.
