SNAP and SPAN: Towards Dynamic Spatial Ontology
We propose a modular ontology of the dynamic features of reality. This amounts, on the one hand, to a purely spatial ontology supporting snapshot views of the world at successive instants of time and, on the other hand, to a purely spatiotemporal ontology of change and process. We argue that dynamic spatial ontology must combine these two distinct types of inventory of the entities and relation...
متن کاملSNAP and SPAN: Prolegomenon to Geodynamic Ontology
Current approaches to the formal representation of geographical reality are characterized by their static character. GIS representations are representations of the world at a given time, reflecting the fact that geographic information systems have their roots in printed maps. Yet, geographical reality, like all other domains of reality, is essentially dynamic. We here outline a theory that is d...
متن کاملTowards an Ontology-Based Spatial Clustering Framework
Spatial clustering is an important topic in knowledge discovery research. However, most clustering methods do not consider semantic information during the clustering process. In this paper, we present ONTO_CLUST, a framework for ontology-based spatial clustering. Using the framework, spatial clustering can be conducted with the support of a spatial clustering ontology. As an illustration, the f...
متن کاملTowards a generic foundation for spatial ontology
In this paper we describe the results of our current efforts to establish a foundation for combining spatial ontologies. We draw on the state of the art in computational ontological engineering, ontologies for geographic information systems and qualitative reasoning in order to build a framework within which these, and other, approaches may be placed. The skeleton of the framework is provided b...
متن کاملTowards a Scalable Dynamic Spatial Database System
With the rise of GPS-enabled smartphones and other similar mobile devices, massive amounts of location data are available. However, no scalable solutions for soft real-time spatial queries on large sets of moving objects have yet emerged. In this paper we explore and measure the limits of actual algorithms and implementations regarding different application scenarios. And finally we propose a n...
