Workshop
Scope and Objectives
Geospatial data and processes
can only be fully understood when they are explored taking their thematic and
spatial multi-dimensionality into account. Furthermore, different scales reveal
different aspects of the underlying structures and processes that are of crucial
importance for all applications. These issues are relevant for all kinds of
spatial data, namely raster, vector and surface data, but also verbal expressions.
A topic of growing importance is the availability of data and services via the
internet. The workshop intends to bring together researchers dealing with semantic
and geometric data integration, data representation in Multiple Representation
Database (MRDB) structures, as well as generating and exploiting the links between
multiply represented objects.

Topics of Interest
This
workshop aims at presenting the state-of-the-art and trends in the handling
and integration of multiple representation spatial data. Topics to be presented
and discussed during the workshop address (but not limited to):
-
Formal representation of geospatial information and knowledge
-
Geospatial ontologies
-
Semantic geospatial database integration
-
Semantic geospatial service integration
-
Generalization and data abstraction of vector, raster and surface data, and
textual descriptions
-
Object representation for multiple representation and multi-scale databases
-
Matching of image and vector data in different scales and themes
-
Multiple representation analysis tools
-
Geo-Web-Services for data generalization and data integration
All
submitted papers will be reviewed in a double-blind fashion for quality, originality
and relevance by the Scientific Committee.
Proceedings
The
papers will be published in the International Archives of Photogrammetry, Remote
Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences of the ISPRS. The proceedings will
be available at the workshop; digital versions of it will be published on the
web-site already before the workshop.
Workshop Programme
The workshop will include keynote speeches and presentations. Special emphasis will be given to the discussions. In order to facilitate this, the papers will be available on the web-site beforehand, so that they can be read by the participants and the presentation time can be shifted in favor of discussions.
