The new cookbook on Semantic Data Delivery and Processing Services is now available. Take a look to see how you can add semantics metadata to your data delivery and data processing services, using open sources tools and standard OGC protocols.
The paper Putting meaning into NETMAR the open service network for marine environmental data describes the development of two semantic resources for discovery and validation of Web Processing Services and to support interoperability of coastal web atlases. The paper addresses both the formal representation as well as the tools and methods used to develop these semantic resources.
