Vagueness in Geographic Categories A Setback to Semantic Interoperability
نویسندگان
چکیده
In semantic interoperability, the main issue is to develop semantic models of geographic data that will include definitions and vocabulary necessary for data integration. Geographic data must be organized in categorization schemata before it can be integrated, but those schemata, exhibit vagueness. Vagueness can be found in geographic categories not only in the cognitive aspect of prototypical ones but also when building categorization schemata of geographic objects or phenomena for a given task.

Caspian Sea level fluctuation and Determination of Setback Line
In the past 25 years, rising of the Caspian Sea level, part of a natural treat to the sea, has inundated and destroyed many buildings and arable lands and threatened many inhabitations in coastal areas. The main reason for these damages is that the law-setback has lost its efficiency and human activities have proceeded seaward. The goal of this study is to introduce a proper setback line for th...

متن کاملA method for the formalization and integration of geographical categorizations
In order to deal with semantic heterogeneity and achieve semantic interoperability between heterogeneous applications, it is necessary to formalize geographic knowledge. The present paper introduces a method to formalize and integrate different geographic categorizations. The method is based on the mathematical theory of Concept Lattices. These rich structures are used for managing multidimensi...
متن کاملApproaches to Semantic Similarity Measurement for Geo-Spatial Data: A Survey
Semantic similarity is central for the functioning of semantically enabled processing of geospatial data. It is used to measure the degree of potential semantic interoperability between data or different geographic information systems (GIS). Similarity is essential for dealing with vague data queries, vague concepts or natural language and is the basis for semantic information retrieval and int...
متن کاملTheories of Concepts in Resolving Semantic Heterogeneities
The need to account for the inefficient geographic information exchange between different groups of people (different domains and cultures) due to semantic heterogeneity, as well as to provide interoperability between geographic information systems, has directed Geographic Information (GI) Science towards ontological research (Mark et al., online). The role of ontology, from the philosophical, ...
