Geographical categories: an ontological investigation
This paper reports the results of a series of experiments designed to establish how non-expert subjects conceptualize geospatial phenomena. Subjects were asked to give examples of geographical categories in response to a series of diŒerently phrased elicitations. The results yield an ontology of geographical categories—a catalogue of the prime geospatial concepts and categories shared in common...

متن کاملAcquiring ontological categories through interaction
We present an experimental framework for the study of a computational agent’s acquisition of ontological categories through interaction with a human agent. This interaction takes the form of joint attention in a shared visual environment. Through a game of guessing words, the computational agent adapts its categorization system a CALM-based neural architecture with a set of Gabor filters and de...
متن کاملA Foundational Framework for Structuring Geographical Categories
Boyan Brodaric, Geological Survey of Canada Introduction Geographical categories are often represented in machine-readable ontologies to aid information interoperability, retrieval, fusion, analysis, workflow execution and image classification. Within these activities categories are routinely merged, split, and compared. Such operations are particularly dependent on the representation choices m...
متن کاملOntological modelling of geographical relationships for map generalization
Understanding and encoding the roles that map features play in landscapes can assist making maps for particular purposes and for generalizing those maps appropriately. This paper explores how enumerating and classifying toponyms (place names) can enhance cartographic databases to allow applications to consider contextual relationships when choosing what to render or not and what symbolization r...
