Abstract:

Geographic information systems have been applied on the World Wide Web with different approaches and there is a need to recognize how different groups of users conceptualize the domain of geographic space. In our research, we present an attempt to model a semantic reference system in a semantic web by the concept of global geo-ontology. Taxonomy is based on general knowledge representation as physical and conceptual shapes, simultaneously with basic and advanced human activities. Developed ontology includes 588 concepts on five levels and is extendable. Within such a structure, the rules as independence of location, time frame and culture are respected.
