OnToMap: Semantic Community Maps for Knowledge Sharing
Liliana Ardissono,Maurizio Lucenteforte,Noemi Mauro,Adriano Savoca,Angioletta Voghera,Luigi La Riccia +5 more
TL;DR: The information retrieval model adopted in the OnToMap Participatory GIS is based on an ontological representation of linguistic and encyclopaedic knowledge that makes it possible to exploit terms and synonyms occurring in the definitions of concepts to flexibly match the user's and system's terminologies.

Proceedings ArticleDOI
Concept-aware geographic information retrieval
TL;DR: It is argued that the explicit management of ontological knowledge, and of the meaning of concepts (by integrating linguistic and encyclopaedic knowledge in the system ontology), can improve the analysis of search queries, because it enables a flexible identification of the topics the user is searching for, regardless of the adopted vocabulary.
