Research on spatio-temporal ontology based on description logic
DL,short for Description Logic,is aimed at getting a balance between describing ability and reasoning complexity.Users can adopt DL to write clear and formalized concept description for domain model,which makes ontology description possess well-defined syntax and semantics and helps to resolve the problem of spatio-temporal reasoning based on ontology.This paper studies on basic theory of DL and relationship between DL and OWL at first.By analyzing spatio-temporal concepts and relationship of spatio-temporal GIS,the purpose of this paper is adopting ontology language based on DL to express spatio-temporal ontology,and employing suitable ontology-building tool to build spatio-temporal ontology.With regard to existing spatio-temporal ontology based on first-order predicate logic,we need to transform it into spatio-temporal ontology based on DL so as to make the best of existing research fruits.This paper also makes a research on translating relationships between DL and first-order predicate logic.
