Abstract

In this paper the authors present an approach for the semantic annotation of RESTful services in the geospatial domain. Their approach automates some stages of the annotation process, by using a combination of resources and services: a cross-domain knowledge base like DBpedia, two domain ontologies like GeoNames and the WGS84 vocabulary, and suggestion and synonym services. The authors' approach has been successfully evaluated with a set of geospatial RESTful services obtained from ProgrammableWeb.com, where geospatial services account for a third of the total amount of services available in this registry.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2026-04-27:

  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 23 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

    It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

    • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
    • Assignment of a Handle/URN as an identifier within the deposit in the Institutional Repository: https://oa.upm.es/16327/

    Project objectives

    El presente trabajo tiene como objetivos principales: analizar el proceso de anotación semántica en servicios RESTful del ámbito geoespacial; automatizar etapas del proceso de anotación mediante la integración de recursos y servicios especializados; emplear una base de conocimiento multidominio como DBpedia junto con ontologías específicas como GeoNames y el vocabulario WGS84; utilizar servicios de sugerencias y sinónimos para mejorar la calidad de las anotaciones; y evaluar la efectividad del enfoque propuesto mediante un conjunto de servicios RESTful geoespaciales extraídos de ProgrammableWeb.com, donde estos representan un tercio del total de servicios registrados, todo ello en el contexto de la investigación presentada en 2012.
