“…The variety of terms used in planning across different European regions and countries presents a major challenge. Lacasta et al (2007) state that even though standards and specifications have been put in place to facilitate interoperability, important semantic differences still remain. They also highlight the barrier of multilinguality and the increasing number of official languages as a main barrier in the establishment of a European G-ICT infrastructure.…”

Transitioning to resilience and sustainability in urban communities AbstractThe challenges of rapid urban growth and societal change will require mechanisms for efficient transitioning to an embedded resilience. This has become central to the exploration of methods for achieving truly sustainable urban growth. However, while transitioning and resilience are useful descriptors, they can be abstract or conflicting ideals and their meanings obscured by a lack of concrete examples, both being barriers to many planning objectives. In this paper, we hold a lens over key issues in transitioning to resilience in urban areas by outlining emerging challenges that may offer directions towards operationalising how cities might transition to a more resilient future, while ensuring that communities are at the center of the process.The emerging and challenging areas -geospatial ICT, green infrastructure planning, novel design using collaborative responses, climate planning, limiting urban sprawl and short-circuit economic approaches -are explored as viable facets for devising and sustaining urban transition strategies. We conclude with a discussion on the need for developing a synergistic approach in practice to facilitate transition.

“…Regarding the local ontology as one viewpoint of AO, construct AO by using heuristic rule and other methods to infer the relations of concepts in different local ontologies through checking and processing the inconsistency among local ontology. Compared with other ontology integration methods [9], the method of AO upon multi-view possesses the following features: applying inconsistency checking and processing strategies upon semantic layer in different ontologies to eliminate the semantic inconsistency between different ontologies; using heuristic rule to obtain relations of concepts between different ontologies in semantic layer and resorting to Prolog clauses to infer and solve the problem of semantic implication; adopting cognate concepts to rewrite ontological graph and dispel the redundancies in AO.…”

The information integration method of semantic web based on agent ontology (SWAO method) was put forward aiming at the problems in current network environment, which integrates, analyzes and processes enormous web information and extracts answers on the basis of semantics. With SWAO method as the clue, the following technologies were studied: the method of concept extraction based on semantic term mining, agent ontology construction method on account of multi-points and the answer extraction in view of semantic inference. Meanwhile, the structural model of the question answering system applying ontology was presented, which adopts OWL language to describe domain knowledge from where QA system infers and extracts answers by Jena inference engine. In the system testing, the precision rate reaches 86%, and the recalling rate is 93%. The experimental results prove that it is feasible to use the method to develop a question answering system, which is valuable for further study in more depth.

“…The importance of service discovery has led to present several standards by the information and spatial societies. For example, UDDI 1 and ebRIM 2 were presented for WSDL 3 base service and CSW 4 was presented for spatial service. It should be mentioned that CSW is in fact a profile of ebRIM.…”
