Representación del Conocimiento de la Información Geográfica siguiendo un Enfoque basado en Ontologías

Abstract

Nowadays, the use of Geographic Information is inherent in many application domains in various disciplines. Given the potential of geographic information, it is an important tool to facilitate decision making and resource management. There are different standards for representation through conceptual models of geographic information. However, these have limitation for both incorporate semantic expressiveness, since only considered the technical aspect, to properly model applications that use geographic information, because they do not consider all the concepts involved in the geospatial domain, their characteristics and relationships. This paper presents a meta-ontology that creates rich semantic models able to represent and make inferences about the knowledge of geographic information.
