Computing the semantic similarity of geographic terms using volunteered lexical definitions
Volunteered geographic information (VGI) is generated by heterogenous ‘information communities’ that co-operate to produce reusable units of geographic knowledge. A consensual lexicon is a key factor to enable this open production model. Lexical definitions help demarcate the boundaries of terms, forming a thin semantic ground on which knowledge can travel. In VGI, lexical definitions often app...
متن کاملImproving Volunteered Geographic Data Quality Using Semantic Similarity Measurements
Studies have analysed the quality of volunteered geographic information (VGI) datasets, assessing the positional accuracy of features and the completeness of specific attributes. While it has been shown that VGI can, in some context, reach a high positional accuracy, these works have also highlighted a large spatial heterogeneity in positional accuracy, completeness but also with regards to the...
متن کاملSemantic Enhancement of Volunteered Geographic Information
The continue use of social media has created a revolution in the production of data in terms of heterogeneity and volume. This huge amount of data is often georeferenced, and the geospatial position of data is a very relevant dimension for analysis. The considerable heterogeneity and the variable quality of user-generated data prevent however the full exploitation of this information. In this P...
متن کاملComputing Semantic Similarity Using Ontologies
Determining semantic similarity of two sets of words that describe two entities is an important problem in web mining (search and recommendation systems), targeted advertisement and domains that need semantic content matching. Traditional Information Retrieval approaches, even when extended to include semantics by performing the similarity comparison on concepts instead of words/terms, may not ...
متن کاملValidation of Volunteered Geographic Information Landuse Change Using Satellite Imagery
Land use change monitoring is one of the main concerns of managers and urban planners due to human activities and unbalanced physical development in urban areas. In this paper, a combination of remote sensing data and volunteered geographic information was used to assess the quality of volunteered geographic information on land use and land cover changes monitoring. For this purpose, the ORBVIE...
