Geospatial Semantic Web: Resources, Tools and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

With the advances of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the rapid development of Semantic Web technologies, there is an increasing need for advanced resources and tools for improving geospatial applications. To better understand the strengths and weaknesses of today’s technologies and thereby gain knowledge about how to improve intelligence applications, we need to learn more about their potentials and shortcomings.

This Special Issue aims to highlight existing challenges in gathering and analyzing available data, both structured and unstructured, and propose solutions to address those. It further aims to explore methodological issues that are involved in developing tools and applications for accessing available data.

Relevant topics to this issue include but are not limited to:

• Geospatial knowledge graphs: construction, representation, alignment;
• Semantic web and natural language processing resources: development, modeling, integration;
• Geospatial text analysis: semantic parsing, indexing, toponym recognition, information extraction;
• Machine and deep learning methods of geospatial;
• Applications: summarization, visualization, question answering, information retrieval, image analysis;
• Evaluation of geospatial methods and applications.
