Making Spatiotemporal Data More Useful: An Entity Linking Approach

该项目旨在通过利用对象移动轨迹来建立时空实体链接的方法，以支持时空属性无处不在的下一代数据的数据库集成和数据质量管理。它期望开发一种新的实体链接范式，以实现自动、高效和可靠的时空数据集成，并在此背景下进行新的数据隐私研究。预期成果包括用于数据签名生成和基于相似性的搜索的新数据库技术，以及改进的位置数据隐私保护方法。该项目应该为所有高质量时空数据融合对有意义的数据分析至关重要的领域提供重大好处。

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.
