Abstract:
This paper introduces the concept of Ontology based
Geo-Object Catalog
(OGOC). An OGOC acts as a focal point for a federation of independent geo-
object sources, providing consolidation services for the geo-objects
represented in several, as well as access services to
query geo-objects and
metadata. To accomplish this task, an OGOC stores a reference ontology,
which also includes
reference geo-object instances, and ontologies
representing the conceptual schemas of the data sources. The paper also
considers a framework for the creation of personalized OGOCs.
