Towards Linked Data and ontology development for the semantic enrichment of volunteered geo-information

چکیده
The increasing volume of Volunteered Geo-information (VGI) often remains hidden and unconnected to other sources of information, and therefore hampering its reuse. A better understanding of the semantics behind VGI and its resources can relieve this issue, facilitated by the use of lightweight Semantic Web tools for the visualization, exploration and querying of Linked Data. The support of the publication of VGI-system descriptions on the Web eases the reuse of VGI, which in its turn supports the demand for a better spatial coverage of volunteered geo-information. This paper describes an approach for the collaborative development of an ontology of VGI concepts and the creation of Linked Data for real-life VGI resources. A corpus of VGI concepts and resources are drawn from the ENERGIC project. The paper demonstrates how these resources can be integrally accessed through a visual query environment.

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...

Introduction: Autism is a nervous system disorder, and since there is no direct diagnosis for it, data mining can help diagnose the disease. Ontology as a backbone of the semantic web, a knowledge database with shareability and reusability, can be a confirmation of the correctness of disease diagnosis systems. This study aimed to provide a system for diagnosing autistic children with a combinat...

متن کاملPresenting a method for extracting structured domain-dependent information from Farsi Web pages
Extracting structured information about entities from web texts is an important task in web mining, natural language processing, and information extraction. Information extraction is useful in many applications including search engines, question-answering systems, recommender systems, machine translation, etc. An information extraction system aims to identify the entities from the text and extr...
متن کاملQuery Architecture Expansion in Web Using Fuzzy Multi Domain Ontology
Due to the increasing web, there are many challenges to establish a general framework for data mining and retrieving structured data from the Web. Creating an ontology is a step towards solving this problem. The ontology raises the main entity and the concept of any data in data mining. In this paper, we tried to propose a method for applying the "meaning" of the search system, But the problem ...
