Abstract: | Increasing interests in a global environment and climate change have led to studies focused on the changes in the multinational Arctic region. To facilitate Arctic research, a spatial data infrastructure (SDI), where Arctic data, information, and services are shared and integrated in a seamless manner, particularly in light of today's climate change scenarios, is urgently needed. In this paper, we utilize the knowledge-based approach and the spatial web portal technology to prototype an Arctic SDI (ASDI) by proposing (1) a hybrid approach for efficient service discovery from distributed web catalogs and the dynamic Internet; (2) a domain knowledge base to model the latent semantic relationships among scientific data and services; and (3) an intelligent logic reasoning mechanism for (semi-)automatic service selection and chaining. A study of the influence of solid water dynamics to the bio-habitat of the Arctic region is used as an example to demonstrate the prototype. |
