Geo-Data Management and Analysis
Description
Geo-data management & analysis:
- Spatial semantics
- Geo ETL
- Spatial search
- Geo-Artificial Intelligence
- Discrete Global Grid Systems (DGGS)
- Spatial knowledge modeling
- Spatial Big Data
- Open data
Competitive Advantages
Decision-making processes in which spatial constraints are relevant involve the following areas:
Identification and characterization of information resources
These resources can be internal (generated within an organization) or external (obtained through commercialization, open data, or accessible third-party sources).
Knowledge modeling and transformation
Based on the identified resources, data is extracted and transformed to be used across different scenarios.
Information analysis and knowledge inference
Using geographical elements as a reference, the IAAA develops various approaches to analyze information and uncover hidden knowledge or infer new insights.
Information exploitation in various scenarios
Ultimately, the goal is to provide relevant information resources on time and in the appropriate format for use across diverse application scenarios.
This includes the continuous experimental validation of knowledge through active participation in industrial projects based on spatial data.
Applications
The most prominent application scenarios include:
- Identification, characterization, and integration of external information resources
- Information inference based on spatial analysis
- Decision support systems based on geographical constraints
- Augmented and mixed reality
- Information resource publication
Relevant sectors include:
- Public administration
- Tourism and culture
- Environment
- Agriculture
- Support to major consultancies by offering geographic differentiation in their projects
