Geospatial behavioural semantics: A natural language approach

This paper has presented the use of NSM combined with feature type ontologies to describe the behavior of geospatial features, and explained how such descriptions can be used to match user queries against queries that can be executed on a database, allowing users to express their queries in behavioral terms, using restricted natural language. A similar approach may be applied to the behavioral semantics of geographic feature types in ontologies or web services.
