Towards Fuzzy Spatial Reasoning in Geographic IR Systems
Vague spatial information such as “x is located at walking distance of y” is abundant on the web. In this contribution, we propose a framework to represent such spatial inform...

An Algebraic Approach to Image Schemas for Geographic Space
Formal models of geographic space should support reasoning about its static and dynamic properties, its objects, their behaviors, and the relationships between them. Image schemas,...
