Semantic Synchronization of Key Registers in a Model for Drinking Water Resources Management

Abstract

Research was oriented to spatial-cadastral information-presentation system (SCIPS) and its application to the process of drinking water resources management, with the aim of improving the quality and availability of spatial and other relevant data about these resources. Authors define a model of drinking water resources management on a SCIPS platform, which improves the efficiency of information exchange in the individual interactions of social, government and private participants witch supply users with drinking water. The model is oriented to achieving a high level of availability and multiple uses of data in a wider geographic area based on the principles of cooperation, coordination and collaboration of various elements in a drinking water distribution system. Application of that model, in which key registers are semantically synchronized, may provide more rational and more sustainable usage of drinking water resources and avoiding of potential conflicts of interest or jurisdiction over those resources.
