This workshop will bring together researchers from different communities to investigate current strategies and discuss future research collaborations. How can experts in ontology and semantic web technologies help to approach the heterogeneity problems arising in geospatial web service infrastructures? On the other side, how can experts on geospatial information technology and spatial domain knowledge contribute to improving semantic web personalisation and applications?
The idea of the workshop is:
- to hear presentations on current research at the junction of ontology, semantic and geospatial research,
- to address issues related to retrieval and personalization mechanisms when applied to spatial information on the web,
- to learn about ongoing activities in research projects that provide successful test cases for combining semantic web technologies with geospatial personalisation and applications, and
- to discuss the challenges and research priorities for a Geospatial Semantic Web Research Agenda based on participants' position papers that express their attitudes and visions on topics related to the Geospatial Semantic Web, Ontologies and Semantic Web Services for geospatial information.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Geospatial information visualisation on the Web
- Geospatial applications on the Web
- Geospatial information retrieval on the Web
- Geospatial semantics on the Web
- Ontologies for the geospatial Web
- Semantic mediation for geospatial information
- Information retrieval and machine learning for automating semantic annotation of geospatial information
- Semantic Web Services for geospatial applications
