Integration of Spatial Processing and Knowledge Processing Through the Semantic Web Stack

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 6631))

Abstract

This paper presents the integration process of spatial technologies and Semantic Web technologies and its associated tool. The result of this work is a spatial query and rule engine of spatial. To do so, existing ontology with spatial elements is adjusted in order to process the spatial knowledge through spatial technologies. This paper outlines the methods and the processes of these adjustments and how results are returned by our tool. The SWRL and the SPARQL language are extended for spatial purpose and the existing OWL ontology wine is used as an application example.
