Abstract:
An approach is presented to ensure the coordination of heterogeneous applied conceptual schemes that describe individual subject areas with sufficient completeness, based on their unification and integration in the form of a universal, unified geoontology. Possible factors of heterogeneity of particular conceptual schemes are considered, requirements and main design solutions for building an unified geoontology intended for use in the context of a multiaspect geodatabase are presented. The data structure for building such an unified geoontology is shown.
Keywords:harmonization of the application conceptual schema, unified geoontology.
