Using Ontologies for Integrated Geographic Information Systems
TL;DR: The basic motivation of this paper is to introduce a GIS architecture that can enable geographic information integration in a seamless and flexible way based on its semantic value and regardless of its representation.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Ontology-driven geographic information systems
TL;DR: The results of this thesis show that a model that incorporates hierarchies and roles has the potential to integrate more information than models that do not incorporate these concepts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Semantic Granularity in Ontology-Driven Geographic Information Systems
TL;DR: The potential for information retrieval at different levels of granularity inside the framework of information systems based on ontologies, which leads to ontology-driven geographic information systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This paper discusses issues related to the use of ontologies in the development of urban geographic information systems and proposes the creation of software components from diverse ontologies as a way to share knowledge and data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bridging Ontologies and Conceptual Schemas in Geographic Information Integration
TL;DR: This paper proposes a way to link the formal representation of semantics (i.e., ontologies) to conceptual schemas describing information stored in databases, and explains a mapping between a spatial ontology and a geographic conceptual schema.
