The exchange of data between GIS systems is problematic and often fails due to confusion in the meaning of concepts.

متن کاملUsing Ontologies for Integrated Geographic Information Systems
Today, there is a huge amount of data gathered about the Earth, not only from new spatial information systems, but also from new and more sophisticated data collection technologies. This scenario leads to a number of interesting research challenges, such as how to integrate geographic information of different kinds. The basic motivation of this paper is to introduce a GIS architecture that can ...
متن کاملData Model for Geographic Ontologies Generation
Structured geographic information has an important role in many applications, such as geographically-aware search engines and named-entity (e.g., proper names) recognizers. This information is compiled from resources like dictionaries, gazetteers and ontologies. The quality of the applications depends critically on the richness of these resources. This article describes a new version of the Geo...
