Abstract: Nowadays, the amount of geodata takes 80-85% relating to all new data produced in our information society. In order to structure all of these geodata it is necessary to find appropriate methods and concepts as well as technical infrastructures. Based on a semantic network for geodata conceptualized by Dr. Göbel, the focus of this thesis has been the development of a metaphor-based 3D information and navigation environment to access the multi-faced semantic network and to find appropriate geodata. As primary metaphor, a 3D library for geodata has been established. Here, books are used as metaphors to represent datasets. Bookshelves, floors and levels are used to structure the library in a semantic way. This semantic, content-related structure is based on the 20 ISO theme codes (ISO 19115: Geographic information From the technical point of view, the conception of a search and navigation system for geodata has been the central point of this work.
