In this paper, we present a model supporting the management of thematic maps for information exploration, and their integration with query expansion during the interaction with the user. Our model is based on: (i) an ontological domain knowledge representation for describing the meaning of concepts and their semantic relations; (ii) a semantic interpretation model for identifying the concepts referenced in the user's queries. We are experimenting our model in the OnToMap Participatory GIS, which manages interactive community maps for information sharing and participatory decision-making.

Abstract

In this paper, we present a model supporting the management of thematic maps for information exploration, and their integration with query expansion during the interaction with the user. Our model is based on: (i) an ontological domain knowledge representation for describing the meaning of concepts and their semantic relations; (ii) a semantic interpretation model for identifying the concepts referenced in the user's queries. We are experimenting our model in the OnToMap Participatory GIS, which manages interactive community maps for information sharing and participatory decision-making.
