More than 4GB of Linked Open Data from the Third Spanish National Forest Inventory (IFN3) and the Spanish Forest Map (MFE50). With great care we have converted the data to RDF, annotated them with the forest ontology we have developed, enriched them with annotations from other sources, and integrated them into a single data source.
The Forest explorer is a creation of the LinkedForest team, formed by researchers from the University of Valladolid of the groups GSIC and iuFOR: Guillermo Vega, José Miguel Giménez, Cristóbal Ordóñez, Felipe Bravo, Irene Ruano, Adolfo Ruiz, Miguel Bote, Eduardo Gómez, Juan Asensio and Yannis Dimitriadis.
The National Forest Inventory and the Spanish Forest Map are great. The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and the Ministry of Ecological Transition offers them as Open Data.
Cross-Forest is a European project (grant 2017-EU-IA-0140) that aims to produce Linked Open Data in the forestry domain to forecast wood quality and to limit forest fires propagation.
