Ashish Karmacharya, Christo

Abstract

The paper presents a method to include spatial rule within rule languages like SWRL to infer spatial rules within semantic web framework. The concept presented here could benefit both geospatial community as they benefit using the adjusted knowledge base to infer spatial rule and semantic web community as the inclusion of spatial data in its framework adds value to the technology. The methods presented here is suitable to be implemented in other tools and techniques within semantic web technology.
