In this paper, we present the design and implementation of G-Portal, a web portal that aims to provide digital library services over geospatial and georeferenced content found on the World Wide Web. G-Portal adopts a map-based user interface to visualize and manipulate the distributed geospatial and georeferenced content. Annotation capabilities are supported, allowing users to contribute geospatial and georeferenced objects as well as their associated metadata. The other features included in GPortal’s design are query support, content classification, and content maintenance. This paper will mainly focus on the architecture design, visualization and annotation capabilities of G-Portal. 2002-07-01T07:00:00Z text application/pdf https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/sis_research/919 info:doi/10.1145/544220.544307 https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/context/sis_research/article/1918/viewcontent/g_portal.pdf http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems eng Institutional Knowledge at Singapore Management University Digital libraries Geography WWW Education Databases and Information Systems Education Geography
