Making Spatiotemporal Data More Useful: An Entity Linking Approach. This project aims to establish a methodology for spatiotemporal entity linking by utilising object movement traces to support database integration and data quality management for the next-generation of data where spatiotemporal attributes are ubiquitous. It expects to develop a novel entity linking paradigm for automatic, efficient and reliable spatiotemporal data integration together with a new data privacy study in this contex ....Making Spatiotemporal Data More Useful: An Entity Linking Approach. This project aims to establish a methodology for spatiotemporal entity linking by utilising object movement traces to support database integration and data quality management for the next-generation of data where spatiotemporal attributes are ubiquitous. It expects to develop a novel entity linking paradigm for automatic, efficient and reliable spatiotemporal data integration together with a new data privacy study in this context. Expected outcome include new database technologies for data signature generation and similarity-based search, and improved location data privacy protection methods. This project should provide significant benefits to all areas where high quality spatiotemporal data fusion is essential to meaningful data analysis.Read moreRead less
Making sense of trajectory data: a database approach. This project investigates new challenges related to providing functionality, flexibility and efficiency for large scale trajectory data management and processing. The expected outcome includes significant technical contributions in novel indexing structures and advanced query processing methods for making better use of rich trajectory data.
