Geospatial information is vital for many domains
78% of German Wikipedia articles in
2013 were found to be either
directly or indirectly related to
geospatial location references.

General information modelling concepts
Information model:
“a formal description of types of
ideas, facts and processes which
together form a model of a portion
of interest of the real world and
which provides an explicit set of
interpretation rules”
(Schenck and Wilson, 1994)
Source: ISO 19103:2015
Ontology: “a set of precise descriptive statements about
some part of the world (usually referred to as the domain of
interest or the subject matter of the ontology)”. (Hitzler et
al., 2012)

Editor's Notes

  • #5: Det er her vi starter. Der ute er den virkelige verden, og det er den vi skal gjenskape på egnet måte på skjermene våre. Virkeligheten kan for eksempel se slik ut. En veg med fotgjengerovergang og en rundkjøring, gang- og sykkelveg, en støyskjerm, noen flaggstenger, et politihus og en halvferdig fotballstadion. Dette kan vi gjenskape som et kart, der de ulike objektene vi ser på bildet er vist med symboler og farger. Men for at dette skal kunne fungere må applikasjonen vår forstå hva det er vi har lagd modeller av og vil gjenskape, og hvordan vi har kategorisert for eksempel vegkategorier. I en annen sammenheng, og stadig oftere, kan det være behov for å gjenskape virkeligheten i 3D, og det gir som kjent enda noen utfordringer.
