论文摘要
在空间数据基础架构或网络基础架构中，地理数据语义的描述旨在支持数据发现，重用和集成。在绝大多数情况下，这些数据的生产者基于对使用数据的特定理解产生描述。这种面向生产者的观点意味着，这些描述通常无助于回答有关可能希望在不同情况下应用它的消费者使用数据集的问题。在本文中，我们讨论了地理信息观察者可以在提供基础架构中扮演的角色，以观察消费者的数据使用环境。这些数据实用主义者的这些观察结果导致了运行统计方法，这些方法将支持更好的健身评估。最后，我们重点介绍了建立这些观测值的一些挑战，并简要讨论解决这些挑战的策略。
In Spatial Data Infrastructure or Cyber Infrastructure, the description of geographic data semantics is intended to support data discovery, reuse and integration. In the vast majority of cases the producers of these data generate descriptions based on particular understandings of what uses the data are good for. This producer-oriented perspective means that the descriptions often do not help to answer the question of whether a data set is of use for a consumer who might want to apply it in a different context. In this paper, we discuss the role geographic information observatories can play in providing an infrastructure for observing the context of data use by consumers. These observations of data pragmatics lead to operational statistical methods that will support better fitness-for-use assessment. Finally, we highlight some of the challenges to building these observatories, and briefly discuss strategies to address those challenges.
