چکیده
This article describes our work realised since the beginning of the Towntology project, which aim was the development of urban ontologies. First of all our work deals with the comprehension of what is an ontology and their uses. Thanks to this prior studies, we develop a prototype and 3 urban ontologies: road system, urban mobility, urban renewal. After describing our result, we synthesize the main difficulties encountered during the development of these ontologies.

Information visualization is a compelling technique for the exploration and analysis of the large and complex data sets generated by computer applications. Visualization takes advantage of the immense power, bandwidth, and pattern recognition capabilities of the human visual system. It enables users to see large amounts of data in a single display, and to discover patterns, trends, and outliers...
متن کاملPre-consensus Ontologies and Urban Databases
Facing the difficulties of interoperability and cooperation between several urban databases, a solution is based on ontologies which can help not only clarify the vocabulary used in urban planning, but also organize urban applications; indeed multiple definitions can be given to various urban objects. So this is the scope of the Towntology project which aims at defining ontologies for urban pla...
متن کاملUn outil d'aide à la construction d'ontologies pré-consensuelles : le projet Towntology
In this article we describe our work on the design of urban ontologies in visual form, realized within the framework of the TOWNTOLOGY project. Our contribution relates the development of a design tool of pre-consensual ontology, to help the experts of the field (in our case urban planners) to describe their knowledge. The visual tools are an asset for the collaborative design of domain ontolog...
متن کاملTowntology & hydrOntology: Relationship between Urban and Hydrographic Features in the Geographic Information Domain
This article describes the relationship between Urban Civil Engineering and other domains, specifically the hydrographic domain. The process of building HydrOntology and the portion of the model relating to urban features are described. This ontology emerges with the intent of settling as a framework in the GI domain, very closely interrelating to Towntology.
متن کاملOntologies for Urban Regeneration Could Be Useful for Managing Cohesion Policies?
This paper describes the building of an urban regeneration ontology for managing cohesion policies focused on revitalizing cities. After a discussion of the background of the ontology subject, and about the experience in which the prototype of an ontology for urban regeneration has been developed, first user needs and requirements for ontology specification are described starting from this prot...
