A possible worlds semantics for model-based spatial reasoning is presented. In this semantics, worlds are characterized by the alternative states that result from indeterminacy or...
Environmental databases store a wide variety of data from heterogeneous sources which are described with domain-specific terminologies and refer to distinct locations. In order to ...
The paper presentsa method for terminological reasoningabout spatial objects on the basis of a KL-ONE-like framework (LOOM). We apply this method to the domain of deductive geograp...
Abstract. Grounding an ontology upon geographical data has been proposed as a method of handling the vagueness in the domain more effectively. In order to do this, we require meth...
Three experiments investigated whether the similarity of relational structures influences the interpretation of spatial representations. Adults were shown diagrams of hand gesture...
