GIS Specialty Group - AAG 2008: Call for Papers --Geospatial Semantic Web Technologies for geospatial interoperability 

=====================================
CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Session(S): Geospatial Semantic Web Technologies for geospatial interoperability

Organizers: Chuanrong Zhang (Department of Geography, Kent State University), Zhong-Ren Peng (Department of Urban and Regional Planning, University of Florida), Tian Zhao (Department of Computer Science, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee)

Sponsors: GIS Specialty Group

The advancement of Geospatial Semantic Web technologies is making an important contribution to facilitate geospatial interoperability at the semantic level. Many Geospatial Semantic Web applications have been developed in diverse fields. There is a great need to organize a session or multiple sessions to demonstrate recent development of Geospatial Semantic Web technologies and their innovative applications in different fields.

Topics include, but are not limited to:
· Geospatial Semantic Web technologies such as Geospatial Ontologies, Geospatial Web Services, and Terminology Reasoning.
· Geospatial Semantic Web architecture.
· Geospatial knowledgebase processing and Geospatial information discovery and retrieval.
· Map Marshups at the semantic level.
· Applications of Geospatial Semantic Web technologies.

If you are interested in participating in this session, please forward your PIN and abstract of no more than 250 words to Chuanrong Zhang (czhang2@kent.edu) or Tian Zhao (tzhao@uwm.edu) by Oct 31, 2007, after submitting your abstracts through the AAG website and receiving the PIN.
