Project Overview

With the rapid proliferation of spatial information on the web, the development of spatial web services represents a challenging issue. In this project we research integration of spatial semantics within a case-based reasoning solution for the delivery of spatial information services on the Web. The framework should integrate Web services in the decision making process and be adaptable to service requester constraints.

The motivation of this research is that a significant proportion of Web resources can be associated to some degree to geo-referenced entities. Statistics collected by search engines and systems on the Web show that spatial information is pervasive on the Web, and that many queries explicitly or implicitly contain spatial criteria.
