The Geospatial Web will have a profound impact on managing
knowledge, structuring workflows within and across organizations,
and communicating with like-minded individuals in virtual
communities. The enabling technologies for the Geospatial Web are
geo-browsers such as NASA World Wind, Google Earth and Microsoft
Live Local 3D. These three-dimensional platforms revolutionize the
production and consumption of media products. They not only reveal
the geographic distribution of Web resources and services, but also
bring together people of similar interests, browsing behavior, or
geographic location.
This book summarizes the latest research on the Geospatial Weba
(TM)s technical foundations, describes information services and
collaborative tools built on top of geo-browsers, and investigates
the environmental, social and economic impacts of geospatial
applications. The role of contextual knowledge in shaping the
emerging network society deserves particular attention. By
integrating geospatial and semantic technology, such contextual
knowledge can be extracted automatically a" for example, when
processing Web documents to identify relevant content for
customized news services.
Presenting 25 chapters from renowned international experts, this
edited volume will be invaluable to scientists, students,
practitioners, and all those interested in the emerging field of
geospatial Web technology. Updates and additional resources are
available at www.geospatialweb.com.
