Contribution to GIScience learning outcomes

This presentation contributes to the following learning outcomes for this course.

1. Knowledge and Understanding:
   • Appreciate the importance of standards for Geographic Information and the role of the Open Geospatial Consortium.
   • Understand the term 'interoperability'.
   • Appreciate the different models for database design.
   • Understand the basis of Linked Data.
   • Find UK government open data and understand some of the complexities in the use of this data.
   • Appreciate the data issues involved in managing large distributed databases, Location-Based Services and the emergence of real-time data gathering through the 'Sensor-Web'.
   • Understand the different models for creating international Spatial Data Infrastructures.
2. Intellectual Skills:
   • Evaluate the role of standards and professional bodies in GIS.
   • Articulate the meaning and importance of interoperability, semantics and ontologies.
   • Assess the technical and organisational issues which come into play when attempting to design large distributed geographic databases aimed at supporting 'real-world' problems.
