A reappraisal of archaeological geophysical surveys on Irish road corridors 2001-2010. With particular reference to the influence of geological, seasonal and archaeological variables
… the biggest analysis of geophysical survey legacy data and subsequent detailed excavations. The analysis of the legacy data archive has reviewed and tested the influence of key variables that have, in some circumstances, affected the methods and outcomes of geophysical assessments in Ireland …

An approach to map soil texture class on the Iowan Erosion Surface
… research was to compare approaches of new and legacy dataset combination to produce surface soil texture class maps on the Iowan Erosion Surface physiographic region (MLRA 104) using standard and novel predictor variables (covariates) for modeling. Hand-textured and laboratory-analyzed legacy …

Evaluation of the Extensible Markup Language (XML) as a means for establishing interoperability between heterogeneous Department of Defense (DoD) databases
… (XML) tools and technologies toward solving data interoperability issues between legacy data repositories. Past efforts to address these issues have largely failed. XML has the capability to address many of the past problems, but this can only be accomplished when the supporting COTS tools …

Evaluation of spatial prediction methods for selected soil properties to support land suitability mapping for rice in Zambia.
… spatial variation of selected soil properties, legacy data on the target variable were available along with additional environmental covariates as predictor variables. The options were to undertake spatial prediction by geostatistical or machine learning methods. Also addressed was how to …

Evaluating and improvement of tree stump volume prediction models in the eastern United States
… Fitting previously used models to a larger data set allows for improved regression coefficients and potentially more flexible and accurate models. The data set was compiled from a large selection of legacy data as well as some newly collected field measurements. Analysis was conducted for …

Biomass Estimation Using the Component Ratio Method for White Oak
… and comparing was done through use of new and legacy data to establish component ratios of trees and contrast these results to those from existing models. Specifically, analyses were completed for models of merchantable and whole stem volume, wood densities models and averages, and the …

Developing and evaluating a method to disaggregate legacy SSURGO soil maps
For soil mapping, legacy (survey) data has its greatest potential in the disaggregation of complex soil mapping units. Disaggregation in this context is possible by relating different soils within a single map unit to other known characteristics of the landscape such as slope and curvature. For the …

New techniques for improving biological data quality through information integration
As databases become more pervasive through the biological sciences, various data quality concerns are emerging. Biological databases tend to develop data quality issues regarding data legacy, data uniformity and data duplication. Due to the nature of this data, each of these problems is non-trivial …

Federated Query Processing for the Semantic Web
… witnessed a constant growth in the amount of RDF data available on the Web. This growth is largely based on the increasing rate of data publication on the Web by different actors such governments, life science researchers or geographical institutes. RDF data generation is mainly done by converting …

Urban Data Memory: Using Generative AI to Structure and Visualize Zoning Data for Urban Planning Evaluation
… from the scarcity of accessible structured data. The period from a plan’s initiation to implementation can span generations; recorded data from the planning processes are often deemed obsolete for addressing present concerns by the time of post-occupancy evaluation. This research examines …
