An Ontology for Linear Spatial Reasoning
نویسندگان
چکیده
An ontology for spatial reasoning based on a tesseral representation of space is presented. The principal advantage offered is that the representation has the effect of linearising multi-dimensional space while still supporting translation through the space in any direction and through any number of dimensions. Consequently, all multi-dimensional spatial reasoning can be implemented using one dimensional (temporal) reasoning techniques. As a result, many of the concerns associated with conventional multi-dimensional spatial reasoning systems, based on more traditional representations, no longer apply.

Developing a BIM-based Spatial Ontology for Semantic Querying of 3D Property Information
With the growing dominance of complex and multi-level urban structures, current cadastral systems, which are often developed based on 2D representations, are not capable of providing unambiguous spatial information about urban properties. Therefore, the concept of 3D cadastre is proposed to support 3D digital representation of land and properties and facilitate the communication of legal owners...
متن کاملA Core Ontology for Spatial Reasoning
In this paper we describe a core ontology for N-dimensional spatial reasoning. The ontology is intended to support both quantitative and qualitative approaches and is expressed using set notation. Using the ontology; spatial domains of discourse, spatial objects and their attributes, and the relationships that can link spatial objects can be expressed in terms of sets, and sets of sets. The cor...
متن کاملSupporting Mobile Robot's Tasks through Qualitative Spatial Reasoning
In this paper, we present an application of qualitative spatial reasoning technologies for supporting mobile robot tasks. While focusing on detection of interaction ability, we provide a combination of the spatial reasoning calculi RCC-8 and CDC as well as their integration with OWL-based ontologies. An architecture that uses Prolog and complex-event processing implements our approach. We illus...
متن کاملA Fuzzy Geospatial Ontology Model and Its Application in Geospatial Semantic Retrieval
Geospatial ontology plays a key role in Geospatial Semantic Retrieval (GSR), which provides support for query expansion and disambiguation, relevance ranking and web page annotation. However, existing ontologies are deficient in representing and reasoning fuzzy geospatial information, an important type of information that distributes widely in user’s queries and web pages. This paper proposes a...
متن کاملCombining Qualitative Spatial Reasoning and Ontological Reasoning for Supporting Robot Tasks
This paper presents an application of spatial and ontology reasoning technologies for mobile robot tasks. We provide a combination of the spatial reasoning calculi RCC-8 and CDC as well as their integration with OWLbased ontologies. An architecture that combines inference tools like Prolog, description logic reasoners, and complex-event processing implements our approach. We illustrate the resu...
