Abstract

Land cover classifications are recognised to be a fundamental source of data to characterise Earth surface and to support change detection analyses. Land cover maps have been produced from different sources as a result of massive time-series image processing. This paper proposes a REST API (and a web user interface) that allows for computing the percentage of land cover classes of a geographic area according to a given map. The computed data is then represented as an RDF graph based on an ontology dedicated to this kind of data focusing on their temporal and spatial dimensions. We illustrate the use of the API to study the evolution of Land Cover on a French geographical area.
