Q2. What future works have the authors mentioned in the paper "A geo-ontology design pattern for semantic trajectories" ?
Only a minimal number of classes and relations are defined, which makes the design pattern easy to understand, reuse, and extend. Finally, the authors plan to develop an optional alignment layer between the trajectory pattern and the DOLCE foundational ontology in a similar way as done for the W3C SSN-XG ontology before [ 12 ]. The pattern can be used as a skeleton for more complex ontologies by sub-typing. For instance, the physical movement path can be resolved to any degree based on the sample interval for fixes.
Q3. What are the main types of ontology design patterns?
There are two major types of ontology design patterns: logical patterns and content patterns, though other types have also been discussed in the literature[9,14].
Q4. What is the significance of the pattern?
The pattern’s formalization goes far beyond the typical surface semantics that reduces ontologies to mere subsumption hierarchies.
Q5. What can be used to store the spatial distance or time duration of a segment?
Attribute and hasAttribute can also be used to store the pre-calculated spatial distance or time duration of a segment so that such values do not need to be dynamically calculated for each query.
Q6. What other geo-data have been used to improve the understanding of trajectories?
Other geo-data, such as those on Points Of Interest (POI), weather, land use, vegetation, and habitats, have also been employed to improve the understanding of trajectories [34,6,19,38].
Q7. What is the main advantage of the pattern?
Only a minimal number of classes and relations are defined, which makes the design pattern easy to understand, reuse, and extend.
Q8. What are the common conceptual patterns that emerge in different domains when solving different tasks?
Ontology design patterns are derived from the common conceptual patterns that emerge in different domains when solving different tasks.
Q9. What attribute can be used to show the toucan’s trajectory?
Such attributes enable queries such as ”show the8 https://www.movebank.org/fixes where the toucan is moving at a speed higher than 6 m/s”.
Q10. How many days do these camps try to bring together?
These camps try to bring ontology engineers and domain experts together for two to three days to discuss and implement pattern ideas.
