The article analyzes the possibility of using specialized libraries Python language for processing and analyzing data in geographic information systems. main directions application methods intelligent systems geoinformation, also considers tools analysis.

Integrating geographical and multidimensional processing has been proposed in several researches in the database literature. One of the most important issues of this process is data querying. However, most of the current approaches do not take into account the use of a query language to make the simultaneous specification of multidimensional and spatial operators available. In this paper, we pr...

A key point in modern automated data processing is metadata semantics representation. Employing Semantic Web existing features ontologies is a promising option. Ontologies open a novel approach to knowledge representation. The paper presents a GIS (Geographic Information System) domain application illustrating ontological approach to data integration and data processing automation in the specif...

Geographic Proximity, Trade and International Conflict/Cooperation This paper examines the interactive effect of distance and trade on international conflict and cooperation. The effect of geographic distance depends on trade, while the effect of trade varies with geographic distance. Trade reduces conflict to a greater extent when dyads are geographically close, but has a greater effect on coo...

The research enterprise increasingly involves multidisciplinary collaboration, sometimes over geographic distance. Technological advances have made these collaborations possible, and the history of past innovations suggests these collaborations are desirable. Yet multidisciplinary projects can carry high coordination costs. This study investigated how collaborations address disciplinary differe...

Citizenship in the United States: The Roles of Immigrant Characteristics and Country of Origin This study develops and estimates a model of the naturalization process in the US. The model is based on both the characteristics of immigrants and features of their countries of origin. The empirical analysis is based on the 2000 US Census. Both the characteristics of immigrants and the origin-countr...

An overview of the fields of data modelling, database systems and geographical information systems is presented as a background. Requirements to a data model and a data modelling methodology for geographical data are investigated and presented. Another contribution is an extension of the traditional ER-diagrams to better communicate the semantics of geographical data. The approach is based on e...

Theoretical models have long shown that spillovers from knowledge investments are of great economic importance to sustained economic growth and innovation and that these spillovers may be facilitated by physical and technological proximity. However, such localized spillovers have not been identified using data from developing countries. In this paper, we use a general measure of knowledge and a...

This paper identifies the main sources of urban increasing returns, after Marshall. The geographical distance across which externalities flow is also examined. We bring to bear on these questions plant-level data organized in the form of a panel across the years 1989 and 1999. Plant-level production functions are estimated across the Canadian manufacturing sector as a whole and for five broad i...

Geolocation techniques aim at determining the geographic location of an Internet host based on its IP address. Currently, measurement-based geolocation techniques disregard the buffering delays that may be introduced at each hop along the path taken by probe packets. To fill this gap, we propose the GeoBuD (Geolocation using Buffering Delay estimation) approach. Although the network delay and t...
