Cover Story: As human beings, we are prone to taking for granted information that stems from our domain knowledge, instead of being properly formalized. On the other hand, automated agents are typically not apt to correctly model information that is not crisp but involves blurred membership degrees. Finally, even when fully formalized, knowledge may strive for consensus and widespread adoption in the specific application domain. Applying appropriate “semantics” to data and metadata objects is thus of paramount importance, especially for geoinformation, as input data frequently have blurred contours and output data may depend on judgment by the researcher. This paper applies a renowned classification of semantics to geosemantics in order to pinpoint elective approaches for the individual categories. View this paper
