Abstract:
The development of a web-based spatial decision support system (WebSDSS) aims at the transfer of knowledge that arises from the operationalization of a scenario approach that focuses on so-called ’parameterized regional futures’ (PRFs). Because the operationalization of the PRF approach is an ongoing process, a gap exists between data required and currently available. To overcome this gap and to allow specific software testing, test data sets can substitute expected PRF data. Based on the nature of spatial and non-spatial data and its role in different WebSDSS development phases, this article proposes an approach to distinguish concretization states as metadata of original PRF data and test data counterparts. This contribution accordingly addresses topics like modeling or managing spatial data, geo-spatial domain applications, and digital cartography.
