Ontology Alignment in the Urban Domain

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Ontologies in Urban Development Projects

Part of the book series: Advanced Information and Knowledge Processing ((AI&KP,volume 1))

Abstract

Concepts in the domain of Urban Civil Engineering are often categorized and described using ontologies. Such ontologies may be designed independently by domain experts who have a minimal communication or no communication between them. As a result, similar concepts may be described differently and their categorization may result in heterogeneous ontologies.
