Expert Knowledge as Basis for Assessing an Automatic Matching Procedure

An Approach for Automatic Matching of Descriptive Addresses

Address matching (also called geocoding) is an applied spatial analysis which is frequently used in everyday life. Almost all desktop and web-based GIS environments are equipped with a module to match the addresses expressed in pre-defined standard formats on the map. It is an essential prerequisite for many of the functionalities provided by location-based services (e.g. car navigation). Sever...

An Automatic Real Time Impedance Matching System for Use in an RF Electrostatics Accelerator Ion Source

Automatic Knowledge Acquisition for Expert Systems

The purpose of this article is to summarize the state-of-the-art of the expert systems research field. First, we introduce the basic notion of knowledge, and specifically of shallow knowledge, and deep knowledge. The first section of the document summarizes the history of the field. We analyze the differences between the first generation of expert systems, based primarily upon rulebased and fra...

New Ways of Mapping Knowledge Organization Systems: Using a Semi-automatic Matching Procedure

For millennia the famous library in Hellenistic Alexandria has been praised as an epicenter of enlightenment and wisdom. And yet, a question still seems unanswered: how was its literature classified and retrieved? It is a subject that has been given surprisingly little attention by the field of library-andinformation science―indeed, by scholarship in general. Furthermore, a certain way of think...

Assessing Data Completeness of OpenStreetMap in the UK through an Automated Matching Procedure for Linear Data

OpenStreetMap’s (OSM) increasing popularity and density urges researchers on studying its data quality. When this includes comparison with a reference dataset, a data matching is necessary for the comparison to be meaningful, usually performed manually at data preparation stage. We propose an automated matching method specifically designed for OSM in the UK, based on a multi-stage approach that...
