Capturing and representing geospatial and spatiotemporal dimensions of
geographic knowledge is a great challenge from both theoretical and applied
perspectives. Latest advances in knowledge representation and ontology
engineering have spurred a number of traditional and novel geoprocessing
applications such as intelligent search and geographic information
retrieval, image understanding, integration of disparate and
multi-provenance spatial and spatiotemporal data, knowledge discovery from
Big Data, visual representation of geographic categories, information
extraction from unstructured sources, and many others.

Encouraged by well-received special sessions on ontology and semantics for
several years now, we are again soliciting presentations on both
theoretical and applied aspects of geospatial and spatiotemporal ontologies
for a series of special sessions at the 2018 Association of
American Geographers Annual Meeting. We invite presentations focusing on
one or more of the following (or other related) areas of ontology research:



●     Spatial and spatiotemporal knowledge modeling, analysis,
formalization, and validation (thesauri, vocabularies and ontologies)

●     Semantic interoperability across domains, cultures, ethnicities,
languages and time, spatiotemporal models and reasoning

●     Semantic annotation methods, provenance, and standards for spatial
knowledge representation and processing (e.g. XML, RDF, RDFS, OWL)

●     Semantic extensions to spatial data infrastructures for the IoT,
sensor networks, VGI, and other application areas

To present a paper or to participate in the session as a discussant, submit
your abstract through AAG web site and email your PIN to Alex Sorokine (
SorokinA at ornl.gov). Please follow standard AAG abstract submission
procedure and guidelines. If you have any questions please forward them to
one of the organizers.
