Master’s thesis: Providing Volunteered Geographic Information as Linked Data

This thesis project builds on a previous thesis that developed of a user interface for annotating Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) with a standardized vocabulary (the GEMET thesaurus). The goal of this research is to make these annotated chunks of VGI available as Linked Data. The topic covers several aspects such as the development of a standards-based publication scheme, identification of relevant data to link to in the Linked Data Cloud, and a query interface.
