GEOSPACE

The universal ontology of geographic space as a semantic reference system is a severe scientific challenge that opens several questions. This book is intended to answer some these, like "is it reasonable to design universal ontology of geographic space and expect to be applied?" Or "how to implement such ontology to professional and general society through distributed information systems?" However, we assume that any spatial data that are semantically weak could be enriched to gain more efficient interoperability. The universal ontology of geographic space as enrichment engine of spatial data semantics is conceived as basically interdisciplinary. There exist various topics in the literature on the semantics of spatial symbologysm and different problems on developing spatial ontologies of geographic space, but correlation in databases between realities of space, concepts in human mind, and meaning of symbols/words is virtually hidden. For example, data management and analyses are often..
