>> This session will be aimed at both new comers and experienced

>> Attendees will leave with a significantly improved understanding of

>> 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 <mailto:SorokinA at ornl.gov>). Please follow standard
