Use Cases

Primary: link stream networks

Link stream networks within and across jurisdictional boundaries.

• Using hypermedia (e.g. map & HTML representations):
  • link stream networks across borders
  • allow users/agents to traverse linkages

Secondary: link related things to stream networks

Link related entities to stream network segments. Preferably, these linkages will span across systems (i.e. CHyF, GIN).

• link wells, aquifers, hydrometric stations, etc.

Tertiary: facilitate network expansion

Provide a configurable solution that allows other agencies to join the network with moderate effort and technical skills around linked data.

• other jurisdictions should be able to spin up a "node"
• linkages should be harvested automatically

Link Harvesting

As the network expands it becomes critical to provide an automated process for harvesting linkages.

• automate link harvesting
• use existing linked data technologies (aka LOD Node)
