Spatial Scope Analyser

A script that analyses the spatial scope of a resource

The bounding box is matched to country bounding boxes

To understand if the dataset has a global, continental, national or regional scope

  • Retrieves all datasets (as iso19139 xml) from database (records table joined with augmentations) which:
    • have a bounding box
    • no spatial scope
    • in iso19139 format
  • For each record it compares the boundingbox to country bounding boxes:
    • if bigger then continents > global
    • If matches a continent > continental
    • if matches a country > national
    • if smaller > regional
  • result is written to as an augmentation in a dedicated table

Questions

  • Should we combine the work with #1? if bbox indicates a certain country or continent, we can add it as a location keyword
  • If no bbox provided, in theory we can retrieve it from a linked data file/ows service/pdf content...
  • in stead of retrieving as xml, we can also query the bbox directly from the harmonised records, not just the harvested iso19139 records?
  • should we consider the local scope (for example boundingbox smaller then 5km?)
  • what do we do with resources which have multiple spatial coverages, or a point as spatial coverage
  • should this component evaluate only EU datasets?
  • what to do with metadata of knowledge resources?
  • should we run this component also a second time after metadata is enhanced by AI or other metadata-augmentation components? The ratio of location attribute filled in will be assumably higher...
