Re: ACTION-85 Use Case

Hi Bart,

Here is a proposal for a merged use case:

*Using spatial data during emergency response operations*

*Emergency response services in the Netherlands use SDIs to help manage
large scale incidents. Predefined geographical data from their GIS
warehouses can be used, but incidents and accidents are by nature
unpredictable so it is impossible to determine beforehand which data are
needed. In-house data need to be supplemented with data from other sources
based on ad-hoc requirements. Typically, supplemental data are available
through WxS services. This poses several problems:*

   1.

   *Third party data lack semantics in the sense of the Web of data. Under
   the umbrella of various projects a first attempt has been made to at least
   share definitions of the terminology used by various emergency response
   services, both national and cross border. This resulted in the start of a
   project called the Firebrary <http://www.firebrary.com/>. Now the
   terminology and definitions are available on the Web as linked data as
   SKOS. Still linking from the spatial data to these definitions and vice
   versa is not standardized. Publication of web semantics with spatial data
   would improve discoverability of applicable data and facilitate linking
   data from separate sources.*
   2.

   *It is not possible to predefine relationships between Web data and data
   exposed through WxS services (rdfs:seeAlso is considered by many to be too
   limited).*
   3.

   *It is not easy to share all data related to an incident as Web data.*

*Being able to plot and exchange data about active incidents through the
Web and visualize them in GIS tools with open standards would be a huge
leap forward for emergency response services.*

*Related deliverables: best practices*

*Related requirements:* *Compatibility with existing practices
<https://www.w3.org/TR/sdw-ucr/#Compatibility>,  Discoverability
<https://www.w3.org/TR/sdw-ucr/#Discoverability>,  Spatial metadata
<https://www.w3.org/TR/sdw-ucr/#SpatialMetadata>,  Linkability
<https://www.w3.org/TR/sdw-ucr/#Linkability>, Spatial relationships
<https://www.w3.org/TR/sdw-ucr/#SpatialRelationships> *



I changed the title a bit so that it better covers the use case. Also, I
have added the Spatial relationships requirement to the list of related
requirements.

About that: the bit that I have not included yet is about types of
relationships. In the existing use case it says "*A related issue is that
the relation between the data in the GIS warehouses is only spatial, while
most of the time there is an administrative relation as well.*"

Which GIS warehouse do you mean in this case? The GIS warehouses of the
emergency response services or those of the third parties whose data you
would like to use? And how is not possible to have administrative relations
now?

Regards,

Frans
