在 GIS 地里,从不同领域的信息的大变化被包含以便解决实际问题。Butusually,空间信息在多样的空间数据库被存储,由不同 GIS 平台操作了。语义异质在各种各样的 GIS 工具之中由于概念解释的区别被引起。它将导致为空间数据分享和用法获得并且理解差距的信息。为空间信息的一个基于本体论的模型语义互操作性在 GIS 在本体论理论,方法论和申请研究在进步的全面评论以后被提出领域。
In GIS field, great varieties of information from different domains are involved in order to solve actual problems. But usually spatial information is stored in diverse spatial databases, manipulated by different GIS platforms. Semantic heterogeneity is caused due to the distinctions of conception explanations among various GIS implements. It will result in the information obtaining and understanding gaps for spatial data sharing and usage. An ontology-based model for spatial information semantic interoperability is put forward after the comprehensive review of progress in ontology theory, methodology and application research in GIS domain.
