Formalized knowledge representation is the foundation of Big Data computing, mining and visualization. Current knowledge representations regard information as items linked to relevant objects or concepts by tree or graph structures. However, geographic knowledge differs from general knowledge, which is more focused on temporal, spatial, and changing knowledge. Thus, discrete knowledge items are difficult to represent geographic states, evolutions, and mechanisms, e.g., the processes of a storm {9:30-60 mm-precipitation}-{12:00-80 mm-precipitation}-.... The underlying problem is the constructors of the logic foundation (ALC description language) of current geographic knowledge representations, which cannot provide these descriptions. To address this issue, this study designed a formalized geographic knowledge representation called GeoKG and supplemented the constructors of the ALC description language. Then, an evolution case of administrative divisions of Nanjing was represented with the GeoKG. In order to evaluate the capabilities of our formalized model, two knowledge graphs were constructed by using the GeoKG and the YAGO by using the administrative division case. Then, a set of geographic questions were defined and translated into queries. The query results have shown that GeoKG results are more accurate and complete than the YAGO's with the enhancing state information. Additionally, the user evaluation verified these improvements, which indicates it is a promising powerful model for geographic knowledge representation.

Positioning Localities for Vague Spatial Location Description: A Supervaluation Semantics Approach

Peng Ye, Xueying Zhang, Chunju Zhang, Yulong Dang

Summary: This paper proposes a positioning method based on supervaluation semantics to address the vagueness in location description in different contexts. By analyzing human spatial cognition and the types of attention elements in location description, a positioning model is constructed. A question-answering system is designed for data collection and a case study is conducted to verify the effectiveness of the method.

A unified framework of temporal information expression in geosciences knowledge system

Shu Wang, Yunqiang Zhu, Yanmin Qi, Zhiwei Hou, Kai Sun, Weirong Li, Lei Hu, Jie Yang, Hairong Lv

Summary: Time is a fundamental reference system in geosciences for recording and interpreting temporal information. However, there are limitations in the current time conversion method due to the scope of existing time ontologies and reliance on experience. To address these issues, this paper proposes a Unified Time Framework (UTF) that designs an independent time root node and incorporates quantitative relationship definitions, unified time nodes, and interfaces to enhance accuracy and efficiency in calculating temporal information across different time references. Experimental results demonstrate that UTF greatly supports accurate and efficient temporal information queries compared to traditional time conversion methods. The UTF can be widely applied in the era of Big Data to discover new geosciences knowledge across different time references.

Examining the Spatially Varying Relationships between Landslide Susceptibility and Conditioning Factors Using a Geographical Random Forest Approach: A Case Study in Liangshan, China

Xiaoliang Dai, Yunqiang Zhu, Kai Sun, Qiang Zou, Shen Zhao, Weirong Li, Lei Hu, Shu Wang

Summary: Landslide susceptibility assessment in Liangshan, China was investigated using the geographical random forest (GRF) model. Compared to random forest (RF), GRF achieved higher performance with an AUC of 0.86 by considering spatial heterogeneity among variables. GRF also provided a higher-quality landslide susceptibility map, correctly identifying 92.35% of landslide points in high-susceptibility areas. The local feature importance derived from GRF revealed spatial variation in the impact of conditioning factors, providing implications for policy development to prevent and mitigate landslides.
