The goal of this project is to build an application-specific digital library to support the natural resource manager by providing access to project and agency documents such as Environmental Impact Statements and wildlife biologist specialist reports. As a domain-specific digital library, we have focused on the use of keywords, organized into controlled vocabularies, which are appropriate for this domain. This includes support for the use of place names because location is very important in describing documents and in making decisions.

Harvesting information to sustain forests

We are building a Web-based system to provide easy access to documents for use by natural resource managers, scientists, and other interested parties in the Pacific Northwest. Initially, we are focusing on the Adaptive Management Area Program (...
Estimating the leaf area index in Indian tropical forests using Landsat-8 OLI data

Leaf area index LAI is a key vegetation biophysical parameter and is extensively used in modelling of phenology, primary production, light interception, evapotranspiration, carbon, and nitrogen dynamics. In the present study, we attempt to spatially ...
Toward Geographic Information Harvesting: Extraction of Spatial Relational Facts from Web Documents
ICDMW '12: Proceedings of the 2012 IEEE 12th International Conference on Data Mining Workshops

This paper faces the problem of harvesting geographic information from Web documents, specifically, extracting facts on spatial relations among geographic places. The motivation is twofold. First, researchers on Spatial Data Mining often assume that ...
