Towards Gazetteer Integration Through an Instance-based Thesauri Mapping Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gazetteers are catalogs of geographic features, typically classified using a feature type thesaurus. Integrating gazetteers is an issue that requires some strategy to deal with multiple thesauri, which represent different classifications for the geographic domain. This paper proposes an instancebased approach to define mapping rates between terms of distinct feature type thesauri in order to enable the reclassification of the data migrated from one gazetteer to another.

The role of ontology in improving gazetteer interaction
Gazetteers are more than basic place name directories containing names and locations for named geographic places. Most of them contain additional information, including a categorization of gazetteer entries using a typing scheme. This paper focuses on the nature of these categorization schemes. We argue that gazetteers can benefit from an ontological approach to typing schemes, providing a form...
متن کاملTowards Mapping Thesauri onto plWordNet
plWordNet, the wordnet of Polish, has become a very comprehensive description of the Polish lexical system. This paper presents a plan of its semi-automated integration with thesauri, terminological databases and ontologies, as a further necessary step in its development. This will improve linking of plWordNet into Linked Open Data, and facilitate applications in, e.g., WSD, keyword extraction ...
متن کاملModular approach for an ASIC integration of electrical drive controls
VLSI circuits design allows today to consider new modes of implementation for electrical controls. However, design techniques require an adaptation effort that few designers, too accustomed to the software approach, provide. The authors of this article propose to develop a methodology to guide the electrical designers towards optimal performances of control algorithms implementation. Thus, they...
متن کاملHistorical Gazetteer System Integration: CHGIS, Regnum Francorum, and GeoNames
Integration of digital gazetteers, involving the disambiguation of unique places and conflation of duplicates or variant placeneames, has been the focus of many theoretical papers in recent years. The challenge of mapping between historical instances of placenames is also an ongoing concern for several important projects dealing with ancient placenames. Here the matching of historical placename...
متن کاملThe Drug Ontology Project for Elsevier - An RDF Architecture Enabling Thesaurus-Driven Data Integration
The DOPE project (Drug Ontology Project for Elsevier) is driven by the need to access multiple information sources through a single interface. In this paper, we describe how DOPE allows thesaurus-driven access to heterogeneous and distributed data, based on the RDF data model. The architecture allows for the easy addition of thesauri and data sources, and can facilitate explorations in ontology...
