A geosemantic proximity-based prototype for the interoperability of geospatial data

To this end, we designed a new conceptual framework for geospatial data interoperability and introduced the notion of geosemantic proximity based on human communication and cognition paradigms. This paper reviews this framework and the notion of geosemantic proximity. It also presents the GsP Prototype, which demonstrates the relevance of our framework and of the notion of geosemantic proximity for geospatial data interoperability. More specifically, we describe the architecture of the GsP Prototype, its implementation, and tests that have been conducted.
