You are cordially invited to join us this Thursday (Oct-17) at the
Ontology-based Standards mini-series panel session-5. We will be focusing on
"Ontologies for Geospatial Standards." (017)
= Ontology-based Standards mini-series session-5 - Thu 2013-10-17 = (018)
Session Co-chairs: Dr. Gary Berg-Cross & Dr. Tara Athan (019)
Topic: Developing Ontologies for Geospatial Standards: Progress and Issues (020)
Panelists / Briefings:
* Dr. LuisBermudez (OGC) - "Geospatial Standards and the Semantic Web"
* Dr. SimonCox (CSIRO, Australia) - "An explicit OWL representation of
ISO/OGC Observations and Measurements (O&M)"
* Dr. CoryHenson (Kno.e.sis) "W3C Semantic Sensor Network Ontologies"
* Dr. TorstenHahmann (U of Toronto) - "Driving the next generation of
spatial standards - examples from hydro ontology" (021)
== Abstract == (022)
As with last week's session-4 (The Case for a "Quantities and Units of Measure"
Ontology Standard) this is a continuation of the OntologyBasedStandards
mini-series that was started in late 2012 as a joint venture of OASIS, OMG,
various ISO working groups, IAOA, OOR and ONTOLOG. This session, is part of a
program of 8 topics which are planned to be held over the remaining time in
2013, and partly in 2014. (023)
We are over 10 years from Smith and Mark's Geographical Categories: An
Ontological Investigation - one of top 10 cited articles in the geospatial (GS)
field. Many technical geospatial standards exist and there is increasing
intersection of the GS technical community and the ontological and semantic
technology communities. Still many geospatial data & web feature services have
standardized terms but lack adequate semantics. Some of the concepts in need of
improved semantics, such as quantity and observation, are not specific to the
GS domain. This session explores some efforts to reduce the ambiguities in GS
definitions, as well as the interrelationships of concepts across GS and
related domains. The session builds on work coming out of standards bodies like
the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), but also looks to progress on ontologies
such as started on the W3C Geospatial Incubator Group which defined seven
categories of Geospatial
Ontologies: (024)
* Geospatial Feature Ontology
* Feature Type Ontology
* Spatial Relationship Ontology
* Toponym (Place name) Ontology
* Coordinate Reference / Spatial Grid Ontology
* Geospatial Metadata Ontology
* (Geospatial) Web Services Ontology (025)
Notable also was the benchmark survey of the GS ontology landscape (=
Geospatial Ontology Trade Study) conducted in 2007 which reviewed spatial
conceptualization in foundational and upper level ontologies but also concepts
in domain and commercial standards (e.g. the Geography Markup Language GML) as
well as spatial ontologies that are embedded in other ontologies such as SWEET.
Several of the GS ontologies discussed in the trade study have been made
available in the SOCoP OOR as part of NSF's funding of the SOCoP INTEROP effort. (026)
Another notable development has been the formalization of GeoSPARQL which was
presented previously in the SOCoP Virtual Workshop on Semantics in Geospatial
and Other Architectures: Design and Implementation (2013-05-07). (027)
For our session today, we have invited presentations by people involved in the
geospatial arena and with standards. Following a very brief overview, they will
each present for about 20 minutes on their areas of work and interest. This
will be followed by Q & A and an open discussion of issues. (028)
