In many application domains, data is collected and referenced by its geo-spatial location. Spatial data mining, or the discovery of interesting patterns in such databases, is an important capability in the development of database systems. A noteworthy trend is the increasing size of data sets in common use, such as records of business transactions, environmental data and census demographics. Th...

We present a spatial natural language generation system to create captions that describe the geographical context of geo-referenced photos. An analysis of existing photo captions was used to design templates representing typical caption language patterns, while the results of human subject experiments were used to create field-based spatial models of the applicability of some commonly used spat...

Abstract. Today, more and geospatial services are provided by the governments enterprises to share various geographic information data functions, services-based application integration has become a trend. However, many problems existed in geo-platform for Geographic sharing while providing form of API, such as coexistence different versions same service, similar service routes APIs, cluttered p...

Agricultural resource management is one of important technologies in agricultural application. The new technology, geo-referenced spatial multimedia has revolutionized the data collection, storage, management and display for agricultural resource management. This paper presents geo-referenced spatial multimedia technology including the system architecture, data collection procedures and data pr...

Ontologies, as “formal and explicit specifications of shared conceptualizations” [1] play a predominant role when developing information systems. This role is increasingly recognised by geo and urban experts when dealing with urban (geo) spatial information systems (GIS, SIS) and spatial databases (SDB). Generally speaking, they provide significant benefits for the design and use of geographic ...

This paper reports on the development of a novel mixed reality I/O device tailored to the requirements of interaction with geo-spatial data in the immediate environment of the user. The I/O device is suitable for expert and casual users, integrates with existing applications using spatial data and can be used for a variety of applications that require geo-visualization including urban planning,...

Practical decision-making in spatially distributed natural resource management is increasingly based on process models linked to Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Geo-spatial environmental data and decision support tools can now be made available to a much larger audience by using powerful personal computers and internet-accessible mapping tools. Traditionally decision support tools based...
