The Delft Report: Linked Data and the challenges for geographic information standardization

The addition of Linked Data to the geographic standards may produce effective cost savings in spatial data production and use by improving some issues relevant to Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI). The combination of Linked Data and SDIs, its benefits and challenges are collected in the report on Linked Data presented at 32nd ISO/TC 211 plenary in Delft. This paper presents a brief summary of the mentioned report, where we focus on the main recommendations in the context and evaluate their potential impact in SDIs.
