Abstract

This report summarises the findings of a study conducted by KU Leuven and the European Commission's Joint Research Centre on leveraging synonyms to improve the discovery and retrieval of data resources. The study and proposed methodology focus on improving semantic interoperability in the geospatial domain. It develops a methodology to harvest synonyms from existing sources and provides alternative ways for Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) to benefit from synonyms as alternative labels to expose spatial data.A methodology has been developed and tested in the study on three use cases or areas: noise, agriculture, and water. The resulting synonyms data sets and the developed tool “Synonym finder” available for (re-)use on Joinup complement this report.
