• Sensor data (e.g., wind direction)
• Earth observation data (e.g., satellite
acquisitions, EO standard products)
• Simulations of events (e.g., fire spread, oil
spill spread)
• Evolution (e.g., land cover)
• Marine surveillance
• Census data (periodically)
The tool Sextant
12
Sextant is a web-based tool for:
• visualizing and exploring linked spatiotemporal
data
• creating thematic maps by
– by querying linked spatiotemporal data
– geospatial data sources in OGC standard file formats
(e.g., KML)
• sharing and collaborative editing of thematic
maps
SPARQL
stSPARQL
GeoSPARQL
