Abstract

Much research on semantic geographic information systems that incorporating the Semantic Web and geographic information has been actively studied. However, the existing geographic information systems have a system dependency problem that users can input and retrieve non-spatial information only in a specific system. It also causes difficulty in providing rich services. Therefore, this paper proposes an implementation model for population of Geo-ontology from non-structured Web resources. The proposed model can populate instances for Web ontology independently of systems, and thus it enables a richer Web service development. Finally, this paper shows the prototype that populates instances including a Geo-ontology building example for a University selected as an application domain.

시맨틱 웹과 지리정보가 접목된 시맨틱 지리정보 시스템에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 현재의 지리정보 시스템은 사용자의 비공간 정보 입력 및 검색이 특정 시스템에 종속적이라는 문제점을 지닌다. 이는 또한 풍부한 서비스 제공을 어렵게 한다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 비 구조화된 웹 자원으로부터 지리정보 온톨로지(Geo-ontology)를 확장할 수 있는 구현 모델을 제안한다. 제안 모델은 웹 온톨로지 인스턴스를 시스템에 독립적으로 확장할 수 있으며, 따라서 보다 풍부한 웹 서비스 개발이 가능하다. 마지막으로 대학교를 도메인으로 선정하여, 지리정보 온톨로지 구축 사례와 함께 인스턴스를 확장하는 프로토타입을 보인다.
