Razonamiento espacial para determinar el dominio de un conjunto de etiquetas que representan objetos geográficos

nowadays, there is much geospatial information from different sources such as satellite images, aerial photographs, maps, databases, and so on. it provides a comprehensive description of geographic objects. however, the task to identify the geographic domain to which it belongs is not simple, because this task involves semantic processing based on a conceptualization of a domain. it allows us to understand information in a way similar to how humans recognize the geographic entities and avoid vagueness. we propose a method for qualitative spatial reasoning in geospatial representations. the method is based on a priori knowledge, which is explicitly formalized through an ontology. the knowledge described in the ontology is assessed according to a set of tags that belong to any geographical domain for semantic analysis, to map those tags to concepts defined in the ontology. as a result, a set of geographic domains in order of relevance is obtained, for providing a general concept directly related to the input tags, simulating the way in which humans cognitively perceive a geographic domain in the real world.
