A Location and Action-Based Model for Route Descriptions

Representing human spatial knowledge has long been a challenging research area. The objective of this paper is to model a route description of human navigation where verbal descriptions constitute the inputs of the modeling approach. We introduce a struct

Preface

GeoS 2007 was the second edition of the International Conference on Geospatial Semantics. It was held in Mexico City, November 29–30, 2007. Semantics has become one of the most important topics of research in computer and information sciences. After many of the basic problems in information sharing and use were solved, it became time to face the most challenging one of all: how to make sense of all the information available even when it was collected and organize
