The paper provides a brief discussion of the classification of projective techniques and shows how information on the category of tool can be used to select the...

This paper presents an automatic approach to planting areas extraction for mixed vegetation and hilly region, more cloud using moderate spatial resolution and high temporal resolution MODIS data around Guangxi province, south of China. According to banana growth lasting more 9 to 11 months, and the areas are reduced during crush season, the Maximum likelihood was used to extract the information...

Hierarchical structures and catalogs is a way to organize and enrich semantically the available information in the Web. From simple tree-like structures with syntactic constraints and type information, like DTDs and XML schemas, to hierarchies on a category/subcategory basis, like thematic hierarchies and RDF(s) models, such structures group data under certain properties. Paths in these structu...

As the volume of online manufacturing information grows steadily, the need for developing dedicated computational tools for information organization and mining becomes more pronounced.
