| Summary: | The Web is changing the way people share and communicate information because of emergence of various Web technologies, which
enable people to contribute information on the Web. User-Generated Geo-Content (UGGC) is a potential resource of geographic
information. Due to the different production methods, UGGC often cannot fit in geographic information model. There is a semantic
gap between UGGC and formal geographic information. To integrate UGGC into geographic information, this study conducts an
ontology-based process to bridge this semantic gap. This ontology-based process includes five steps: Collection, Extraction,
Formalization, Mapping, and Deployment. In addition, this study implements this process on Twitter messages, which is relevant to
Japan Earthquake disaster. By using this process, we extract disaster relief information from Twitter messages, and develop a
knowledge base for GeoSPARQL queries in disaster relief information. |
