Formalizing natural-language spatial relations descriptions with fuzzy decision tree algorithm
Jun Xu,Changqing Yao +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a fuzzy decision tree method was used to formalize the spatial relations between two linear objects, and the results of a human-subject test were used as training data.

A Semantic Mediator for Handling Heterogeneity of Spatio-Temporal Environment Data
TL;DR: It is shown how a framework which use a spatio-temporal ontology as a semantic mediator can solve challenges related to the analysis and maintenance of these heterogeneous data.
Book ChapterDOI
Querying a Geographic Database using an Ontology-Based Methodology
TL;DR: Geographic Information Systems are multidisciplinary systems that could be used by different community users, each one with their own objectives and interests, so, different visions of the same reality must be combined to support the community’s necessities.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Fuzzy spatial relations for high resolution remote sensing image analysis: The case of “to go across”
TL;DR: This work proposes three models that seize the semantics of the spatial relations “to go across” and “ to go through” between a linear object and a region and develops the three fuzzy models.
Interpretation of Behaviours from a Viewpoint of Topology.
Yohei Kurata,Max J. Egenhofer +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter introduces a formal model of topological DLine-region relations and the application of these relations for the characterization of motions, and introduces the 9+-intersection, with which several approaches to associating motions with the model of human motion concepts are explored.

Book
Metaphors We Live By
George Lakoff,Mark Johnson +1 more
TL;DR: Lakoff and Johnson as mentioned in this paper suggest that these basic metaphors not only affect the way we communicate ideas, but actually structure our perceptions and understandings from the beginning, and they offer an intriguing and surprising guide to some of the most common metaphors and what they can tell us about the human mind.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metaphors We Live by
TL;DR: Lakoff and Johnson as discussed by the authors present a very attractive book for linguists to read, which is written in a direct and accessible style; while it introduces and uses a number of new terms, for the most part it is free of jargon.
Journal Article
Maintaining knowledge about temporal intervals
TL;DR: An interval-based temporal logic is introduced, together with a computationally effective reasoning algorithm based on constraint propagation, which is notable in offering a delicate balance between space and time.

The Theory of Parsing, Translation, and Compiling
Alfred V. Aho,Jeffrey D. Ullman +1 more
TL;DR: It is the hope that the algorithms and concepts presented in this book will survive the next generation of computers and programming languages, and that at least some of them will be applicable to fields other than compiler writing.
