Recently, as the Geospatial Web is combined with the Semantic Web in order to keep pace with the recent trends of information technology emphasizing interoperability, intelligence and individualization, the Geo Semantic Web was proposed, which is an intelligent geographical information Web service technology that can provide users with suitable information by connecting and integrating various types of spatial information and extensive aspatial information on the Web efficiently. For the Geo Semantic Web service, we need to develop Geo Ontology processing technologies that enable computers to process knowledge and information scattered around in the Web environment automatically. However, standards for Geo Ontology processing technologies have nod been established yet, and standardization organizations and various groups and agencies are conducting relevant studies. This paper analyzed various base theories and technologies related to Geo Ontology and developed a Geo Semantic Web system. The Geo Semantic Web system comprises Query Processing Manager that analyzes and processes Geo Semantic queries and manages sessions, Ontology Manager that generates and queries Geo Ontology and extracts spatial/aspatial data, and Clients. Finally, this paper proved the utility of the Geo Semantic Web system by applying it to a hypothetical scenario where Geo Semantic queries are required.

This paper describes a GIS framework for geo-semantic information retrieval in mobile computing environments. We built geographic ontologies of POI (point of interest) and weather information for use in the combination of semantic, spatial, and temporal functions in a fully integrated database. We also implemented a geo-semantic app for Android-based smartphones that can extract more appropriate POIs in terms of user contexts and geographic ontologies and can visualize the POIs using Google Maps API (application programming interface). The feasibility tests showed our geo-semantic app can provide pertinent POI information according to mobile user contexts such as location, time, schedule, and weather. We can discover a baking CVS (convenience store) in the test of bakery search and can find out a drive-in theater for a not rainy day, which are good examples of the geo-semantic query using semantic, spatial, and temporal functions. As future work, we should need ontology-based inference systems and the LOD (linked open data) of various ontologies for more advanced sharing of geographic knowledge.

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.

It is unsuitable for Korean coastal information to work specific tasks because the coastal information of the current provides simple information, and thus the coastal information is required to reprocess. Therefore, this paper intends to present the ontology model for managing the coastal information using Geo-Ontology and seek application of ontology. The contents of this paper follow as; First of all, I considered the base theories for ontology and related researches. Second, I built Geo-Ontology which defines taxonomy of geographical features and their relationships. Third, I designed and implemented the coastal information ontology about basin of coast, Masan, using Geo-Ontology. Fourth, I carried out semantic queries and reasoning, assessment of the coastal information ontology. This paper will be a base study for many projects which are currently being conducted to integrate spatial information for more effective administrative works and easier maintenance and management of data. Also, this paper is significant in the sense that it is the study preparing for linked data.

In u-GIS environment, GeoSensor environment requires that dynamic data captured from various sensors and static information in terms of features in 2D or 3D are fused together. GeoSensors, the core of this environment, are distributed over a wide area sporadically, and are collected in any size constantly. As a result, storage space could be exceeded because of restricted memory in DSMS. To solve this kind of problems, a lot of related studies are being researched actively. There are typically 3 different methods - Random Load Shedding, Semantic Load Shedding, and Sampling. Random Load Shedding chooses and deletes data in random. Semantic Load Shedding prioritizes data, then deletes it first which has lower priority. Sampling uses statistical operation, computes sampling rate, and sheds load. However, they are not high accuracy because traditional ones do not consider spatial characteristics. In this paper 'Pre-Filtering based Post Load Shedding' are suggested to improve the accuracy of spatial query and to restrict load shedding in DSMS. This method, at first, limits unnecessarily increased loads in stream queue with 'Pre-Filtering'. And then, it processes 'Post-Load Shedding', considering data and spatial status to guarantee the accuracy of result. The suggested method effectively reduces the number of the performance of load shedding, and improves the accuracy of spatial query.

웹에서 다양한 웹 지리 지역 정보를 검색할 수 있는 시스템에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 그러나 현재의 웹 검색 시스템은 사용자가 키워드로 지역 웹 문서를 검색하고 해당 웹 문서를 지도와 비교하여 공간정보를 취득하며, 다른 관련 정보를 얻기 위해서는 검색과 비교를 반복해야 하는 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 비구조화 된 텍스트 웹 자원으로부터 지리정보 온툴로지(geo-ontology)를 확장할 수 있는 통합된 검색시스템을 제안한다. 이를 위해 문서의 정보에서 위치 정보를 추출하고 공간정보 위치 맵핑 기법을 적용하여 텍스트의 공간정보를 추출한다.

Recently international organizations such as ISO/TC211, OGC, INSPIRE (Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe) make an effort to share geospatial data using semantic web technologies. In addition, smart phone and social networking services enable community-based opportunities for participants to share issues of a social phenomenon based on geographic area, and many researchers try to find a method of extracting issues from that. However, serviceable spatial ontologies are still insufficient at application level, and studies of spatial information extraction from SNS were focused on user's location finding or geocoding by text mining. Therefore, a study of extracting spatial phenomenon from social media information and converting it into geosemantic knowledge is very usable. In this paper, we propose a framework for extracting keywords from micro-blog, one of the social media services, finding their relationships using data mining technique, and converting it into spatiotemopral knowledge. The result of this study could be used for implementing a related system as a procedure and ontology model for constructing geoseem antic issue. And from this, it is expected to improve the effectiveness of finding, publishing and analysing spatial issues.

High resolution satellite imagery is regarded as one of the important data sets to engineering application, as well as conventional scientific application. However, despite this general view, there are a few target applications using this information. In this study, the possibility for the future wide uses in associated with smart graphics of this information is investigated. The concept of smart graphics can be termed intelligent graphics with XML-based structure and knowledge related to semantic web, which is a useful component for the data dissemination framework model in a multi-layered web-based application. In the first step in this study, high resolution imagery is transformed to GML (Geographic Markup Language)-based structure with attribute schema and geo-references. In the second, this information is linked with GIS data sets, and this fused data set is represented in the X3D (eXtensible 3D), ISO-based web 3D graphic standard, with styling attributes, in the next stop. The main advantages of this approach using GML and X3D are the flourished representations of a source data according to user/clients’ needs and structured 3D visualization linked with other XML-based application. As for the demonstration of this scheme, 3D urban modelling case with actual data sets is presented.
