More Information
Summary:The ontological ideology and methodology are introduced into the geographic information domain, and the exact meaning and its formal represented language of geographic ontology are discussed. The characters of spatial E-R model are clarified. The thinking of spatial E-R model designed on the basis of semantics of geographic ontology is proposed by analyzing the relationship between geographic ontology and spatial E-R model. In the end from an example of about irrigation to introduce a method of establishing conceptual model of spatial database by designing spatial E-R model according to geographic ontology.
