We outline the main elements of what we call polyscopic structuring of information and argue that information needs to be structured accordingly. The principles of polyscopy may both serve as guidelines for creating Topic Maps, and provide orientation for further development of Topic Maps standards and software.

vi CHAPTER 1. OVERVIEW 1

Topic Maps are means for representing sophisticated, conceptual indexes of any information collection for the purpose of semantic information integration. To properly fulfil this purpose, the generation of Topic Maps has to base on a solid theory. This paper proposes the Observation Principle as the theoretical fundament of a future scientific discipline Topic Maps Engineering. SemanticTalk gen...

In dieser Untersuchung werden die drei Lokalen Suchmaschinen Google Maps, Bing Maps und TOnline Maps in einem kombinierten Eye-Trackingund Usability-Test verglichen. Es zeigen sich sowohl Probleme bei der Benutzung einzelner Suchmaschinen als auch übergreifende Ergebnisse, die für die Gestaltung von kartenbasierten Suchmaschinen relevant sind. Wir geben Empfehlungen für die Gestaltung solcher S...

The Antarctic Digital Magnetic Anomaly Project’s first-generation magnetic anomaly map (ADMAP-1) was produced for the region south of 60°S from about 1.5 million line-kms airborne and marine data (Golynsky et al., 2001; https://www.bas.ac.uk/data/our-data/maps/thematic-maps/admap-magnetic-anomaly-map-of-the-antarctic/). second-generation ADMAP-2 compilation 2017; https://doi.org/10.22663/ADMAP....

this book review presents the merits and drawbacks of engineering geology for underground works edited by gattinoni et al. and published by springer in 2014. this book summarizes most of the problems an engineer may encounter in underground design, construction and operation.this book is useful for students and professionals in engineering geology and is also referable for scholars in relevant ...

Abstract. High-resolution soil maps are urgently needed by land managers and researchers for a variety of applications. Digital mapping (DSM) allows us to regionalize properties relating them environmental covariates with the help an empirical model. In this study, legacy dataset was used train machine learning algorithm in order predict particle size distribution within catchment Bode River Sa...

With the increased size and complexity of seismic surveys, manual labeling facies has become a significant challenge. Application automatic methods for interpretation could significantly reduce labor subjectivity particular interpreter present in conventional methods. A recently emerged group techniques is based on deep neural networks. These approaches are data-driven require large labeled dat...

Abstract Crustal deformation occurs both as localized slip along faults and distributed off of faults. While there are few robust estimates off‐fault in nature, scaled physical experiments simulating crustal strike‐slip faulting allow direct measurement the ratio fault to regional deformation, quantified kinematic efficiency (KE). We offer an approach predict KE using a 2D convolutional neural ...
