What is Geospatial Semantic Web

Chapter 23
Handbook of Research on Geoinformatics
A domain-specific version of the Semantic Web which creates and manages geospatial ontologies to exploit the logical structure of geospatial world and allow applications to take advantage of “intelligent” geospatial reasoning capabilities.

Abstract
The Semantic Web technology provides a common interoperable framework in which information is given a well-defined meaning such that data and applications can be used by machines for more effective discovery, automation, integration and reuse. Parallel to the development of the Semantic Web, the Geospatial Semantic Web – a geospatial domain-specific version of the Semantic Web, is initiated recently. Among all the components of the Geospatial Semantic Web, two are especially unique – geospatial ontology and geospatial reasoning. This paper is focused on discussing these two critical issues from representation logic to computational logic.
