Welcome to the Summer Meeting for the Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)! The 2017 theme is Strengthening Ties Between Observations and User Communities. The theme is based on one of the goals in the 2015 - 2020 ESIP Strategic Plan, which provides a framework for ESIP’s activities over the next three years.
CoverageJSON (or “CovJSON” for short) is a JSON-based format and specification for encoding coverage data. It is primarily intended to be used as a means to convey data from servers to web browsers, so that web developers can develop rich, highly interactive applications based on coverage data. This presentation will update and extend our previous work (presented at AGU Fall Meeting 2016) entitled "An Innovative Open Data-driven Approach for Improved Interpretation of Coverage Data at NASA JPL’s PO.DAAC" by displaying how we use URIs to encode semantic information and context through linked data mechanisms such as JSON-LD e.g. CovJSON-LD. This presentation will be of significant appeal to both semantic technologies and visualization enthusiasts.
