BibMix: Enrichment of Citation Metadata Based on Integration of Bibliographic Data

A citation in an academic text provides the reader with exact publication information to uniquely identify and locate a scholarly resource for further study. In the domain of academic research, citations are a key part of linking discrete pieces of knowledge. As opposed to the natural language mostly used in academic texts, bibliographic...

Ibidas: To serve and to protect

In this thesis we present the database security mechanism and Web services implementation for the Ibidas system. The security mechanism restricts access to data by source per user. Web services provide an interface to call Ibidas methods and share data from and with other applications. We will see the need for the features presented, how they...

An integration of shallow depth geophysics

The purpose of this thesis is to integrate the geophysical data gathered along side a future road construction site. The gathered data consists of: surface elevation data, CPT”s and several types of electrical and geoelectrical measurements. The data has been integrated both in a qualitative and in a quantitative way. For the qualitative...

Geographic data integration for telecommunication purposes

Planning and designing mobile telephone networks is a complicated process, which involves large amounts of money. The TIGER tool is under development at TNO ICT. The tool calculates the spatial traffic grids, which are one of the input data sets for mobile telephone network planning tools. The input data for the TIGER tool consists of the...

Multi-sensor data fusion in a distributed environment; architectural solutions

The human operator observing the real world is confronted with a huge amount of data from multiple sensors observing that world. Multi-sensor data fusion (MSDF) is one of the emerging fields in advanced information processing, concerned with fusing sensor data from these multiple sensors. Automated MSDF can help the operator by processing sensor...
