In geospatial applications with heterogeneous classification schemes that describe related domains, an ontology-driven approach to data sharing and interoperability relies on the ...
Abstract. A Wide-Area Sensor Network (WASN) is a collection of heterogeneous sensor networks and data repositories spread over a wide geographic area. The diversity of sensor types...
Maps are artifacts often derived from multiple sources of data, e.g., sensors, and processed by multiple methods, e.g., gridding and smoothing algorithms. As a result, complex meta...

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...
SDIs offer access to a wealth of distributed data sources through standardised service interfaces. Recently, also geoprocessing capabilities are offered as services in SDIs. Combin...

Abstract. Semantic similarity measurement gained attention as a methodology for ontology-based information retrieval within GIScience over the last years. Several theories explain ...
Spatio-temporal network is defined by a set of nodes, and a set of edges, where the properties of nodes and edges may vary over time. Such networks are encountered in a variety of...
Abstract. A workflow-driven ontology is an ontology that encodes disciplinespecific knowledge in the form of concepts and relationships and that facilitates the composition of serv...
