Book Synopsis

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on GeoSpatial Semantics, GeoS 2005, held in Mexico City, Mexico in November 2005.

The 15 revised full papers presented together with 4 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 42 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on theories for the semantics of geospatial information, formal representations for geospatial data, similarity comparison of spatial data sets, ontology-based spatial information retrieval, and geospatial semantic Web.

	Ontology ontogeny : understanding how an ontology is created and developed	15
	Representing the meaning of spatial behavior by spatially grounded intentional systems	30
	Processes and events in dynamic geo-networks	45
	A qualitative trajectory calculus and the composition of its relations	60
	Modeling noteworthy events in a geospatial domain	77
	Measuring semantic similarity between geospatial conceptual regions	90
	Using semantic similarity metrics to uncover category and land cover change	107
	Measuring arrangement similarity between thematic raster databases using a QuadTree-based approach	120
