#GeoKnow Generator Workbench

The GeoKnow Generator Workbench integrates different tools required in the Linked Data Lifecycle, with the objective of supporting the generation and management of geospatial linked data. Specifically, the tools that are integrated in this workbench are:

Tool Name	Lifecycle Stage
Limes-Service	Linking
Facete	Exploration
Sparqlify	Extraction of RDBMS to RDF
Deer-Service	Enrichment
TripleGeo-Service	Transformation of geospatial data to RDF
FAGI-gis	Fusing of geospatial data
Mappify	Exploration
OntoWiki	Authoring
Coevolution	Evolution and Repair

The integration of these tools mean that they share the same RDF store, which means that is easier to work with the different tools having a single entry point, the Workbench. But the biggest advantage of this Workbench is that it provides enterprise ready features that will allow to a group of users to collaborate within the datasets and the tools:

• Authentication and Role Management. The workbench provides a proxy-based security model for accessing the workbench and the creation of different roles that will restrict the access to the different components.
• Authorisation. A graph-based security access control allows users to create and configure access control to datasets for the public and/or user specific.
• Job Monitoring. For some of the software tools, which can have long runtime on large-scale input, the user can execute batch jobs that are configured and observable in a dashboard. This feature was implemented using Spring-batch-admin.
• Data Provenance. When working with several datasources and different processing stages, it is required to keep information about the provenance of certain triples. Within the workflow processes, the Workbench adds metadata about the tools used to process these data, timestamp, and authors.
