Definition Geospatial data refers to information about shapes and extent of geographic entities along with their locations on the surface of the earth. This definition, however, is often extended to include any physical or logical entity as long as it exhibits one or more geographic characteristics such as topology of a proposed highway infrastructure or location of a moving vehicle. Geospatial data management pertains to the acquisition, manipulation and dissemination of geospatial data under a set of guidelines. It has numerous applications including counter-terrorism, climate-change detection and space exploration. For example, global warming has been one of the major climate changing events in recent years. The significance of global warming lies in the severe impact that even small climate changes could cause on weather patterns, ecosystems and other activities. Understanding the causes and impacts of global warming is therefore critical. Central to this mission are the thousands of stations capturing vast amounts of geospatially referenced climate and weather data, both on and off the Earth. The data is stored in hundreds of geographically distributed databases, often in different formats. Even more problematic is that the data lack a common semantics, and as a result tends to take on different meanings in different places. These two problems are major impediments to scientists in their ability to coherently and consistently analyze the data, and investigate global trends, make predictions, and so forth. One way to effectively analyze and detect climate changes is to apply knowledge discovery t
