多分类系统类别语义分析——以自然资源调查为例

自然资源调查监测结果的实质融合是构建自然资源统一调查监测体系急需解决的问题。该文从分析多源数据的分类系统语义关系出发,以自然资源调查试点所采用的分类系统为例,研究了其与调查中重点涉及的两个参考底图分类系统之间的类别语义关系。通过构建语义参考概念树,定量计算各分类系统间语义转换度和语义相似度,描述分类系统类别间的单向和双向语义关系,为自然资源分类系统与其他系统之间的数据融合提供依据。实验结果表明,试点自然资源分类系统与土地利用现状分类系统以及地理国情分类系统的语义转换度分别为67.5%和72.5%。该研究为提高自然资源调查效率、构建统一自然资源本体库提供了支持,为多源数据的实质融合提供了理论依据。     

基于地理本体的空间数据集成方法及其实现

为解决多源空间数据语义集成问题,在已有研究成果基础上,提出了基于地理本体的空间数据集成方法。该方法采用局部本体向标准本体集成的策略,在构建具有公共内涵属性模板的地理本体前提下,通过地理概念语义关系集合运算构建局部本体概念与标准本体概念间的语义映射关系,实现地理本体集成,并以这种语义映射关系及概念与对象类的关联关系为媒介,通过空间数据语义细化和空间对象融合 、分割等过程完成空间数据集成。在此基础上,设计开发了基于地理本体的空间数据集成原型系统,并以某土地利用数据为例进行了实证研究,结果表明:基于地理本体的空间数据集成方法能有效集成具有不同语义的空间数据集。     

对地理信息分类编码的认识与思考

面向GIS的地理信息分类编码是在概念水平上解决空间信息分层组织与属性数据库结构设计的重要方法。该文从地理实体、地理数据与地理信息概念角度 ,探讨地理信息分类编码对象的本质特征 ;简要分析大多数商品化GIS软件中属性数据的表达方式 ,指出地理信息分类编码实质上是从GIS数据组织的概念层次上对属性信息的分类分级 ;提出地理信息分类粒度概念 ,并建立地理信息分类模型 ,列举了在不同视图下的粗粒地理信息分类方案和代码用途 ;提出并讨论地理信息分类编码尚待进一步研究的问题 ,以及国内长期以来难以形成地理信息分类标准的原因。     

基于POI数据的城市土地利用和功能分区--以“城市内部空间结构”教学为例

基于POI数据的可视化教学,能够使教学内容直观明了。本文使用Python编程爬取高德地图POI兴趣点和安居客小区房价数据,结合ArcGIS软件平台,运用地理信息技术分析城市内部空间结构,并通过课堂教学呈现,以期为教师使用地理信息技术融合大数据与学科教学提供参考。     

基于隐马尔可夫模型的时空轨迹语义匹配方法

时空轨迹数据关联的语义信息能更好地反映用户行为,对于POI密集分布的城市区域,轨迹的语义信息很难根据单一的距离或时间要素进行匹配,该文设计一种基于隐马尔可夫模型(HMM)的时空轨迹语义匹配方法。首先,利用时间阈值与距离阈值提取逗留点,并利用考虑时间的DBSCAN聚类方法对逗留点进行聚类,得到由抽象停留位置构成的轨迹;然后,结合POI数据获得停留位置的候选语义,再以停留位置序列为观测序列,以每个停留位置所关联的候选地点作为隐藏状态建立HMM,并用改进的加权距离的TF-IDF方法计算HMM的观测概率;最后,解算HMM得到最有可能的访问地点序列作为轨迹的语义匹配结果。该方法不依赖其他外部数据或训练数据,适用于POI密集分布的城市区域,基于真实时空轨迹数据集的实验结果验证了该方法的有效性。     

对地理信息分类编码的认识与思考

面向GIS的地理信息分类编码是在概念水平上解决空间信息分层组织与属性数据库结构设计的重要方法，该文从地理实体，地理数据与地理信息概念角度，探讨地理信息分类编码对象的本质特征；简要分析大多数商品化GIS软件中属性数据的表达方式，指出地理信息分类编码实质上是从GIS数据组织的概念层次上对属性信息的分类分级；提出地理信息分类粒度概念，并建立地理信息分类模型。列举了在不同视图下的粗粒地理信息分类方案和代码用途；提出并讨论地理信息分类编码尚待进一步研究的问题，以及国内长期以来难以形成地理信息分类标准的原因。     

基于POI数据和Place2vec模型的城市功能区识别研究

功能区识别对于揭示城市的物理和社会特征至关重要。目前,结合大数据和自然语言处理进行城市功能分区和识别是研究的热点。该文以广州市白云区为例,基于道路网络数据将研究区域划分为503个单元,结合POI数据和Place2vec模型对城市功能区进行识别:1)根据兴趣点的语义信息和地理信息构建训练数据集;2)利用SkipGram模型提取POI类型的高维特征向量,通过加权平均法得到各研究单元的特征向量,进而基于K-Means算法对研究单元进行聚类分析;3)利用POI频数密度、百度热力图等指标和方法进行功能区识别和标注,并将识别结果与高德地图进行对比分析。结果表明,该方法能够有效识别出城市功能区,对于低成本、快速有效地识别和理解一个城市的空间结构和功能配置以及城市功能区规划和地理空间分异研究具有参考意义。     

基于本体的土地利用数据分类分级表达

空问数据分类分级表达是GIS最基本的功能之一.针对目前GIS中空间数据表达的不足,借鉴Frederico.T等学者关于本体驱动的地理信息系统中类的变化类型及其变化机制的思想,将土地利用中类的变化分为垂直导航和水平导航2种类型.利用OWL描述的地理数据分类等级体系中的一个概念导航到其父概念或子概念,通过合并地理本体中的某个地理概念的所有子概念所关联的地理要素类中的要素,实现地理空间数据内容的复合;通过将地理本体中的某个地理概念所关联的地理要素类中的要素分别归类到其子概念所关联的要素类中,实现地理空间数据内容的特化.基于本体方法研究地理数据分类分级表达是对目前地理空间数据可视化表达方法的有益补充和丰富.     

语境感知的地理信息检索

语境是可以用来描述实体状态的任何信息,而语境感知的地理信息检索(Context-Aware Geographical Information Retrieval,CAGIR)是可以通过感知与所检索的地理信息相关的语境,返回更加理想检索结果的检索模式。为了进一步了解其基本原理及研究进展,该文综述了语境感知的地理信息检索各方面研究成果:概述了与传统地理信息检索所不同的"语境匹配"思想;明确了语境的定义,并从语境内容和语境表现形式两个角度对语境进行了分类;简述了语境的获取、语境的本体及语义规则的形式表达;讨论了"单语境本体语义操作模型"和"模板语境本体语义操作模型"两类地理信息检索的具体实现模式;总结并形成了语境感知的地理信息检索框架,最后讨论了语境感知地理信息检索的应用现状及发展难点。     

数字城市框架下地理信息服务语义分析

构建数字城市服务公共平台,能够有效地解决异源异构数据共享的问题,实现地理信息互操作。该文以数字城市服务公共平台下的地理信息服务为例,基于本体论,利用属性枚举的语义表达方法构建地理信息服务本体,以明确且形式化的方法描述服务语义,力图解决地理信息服务语义共享的问题。最后给出数字城市公共平台部分地理信息服务的形式化语义描述,在Protégé软件中完成地理信息服务本体的构建,同时结合HermiT1.3.4实现推理过程,并以地理编码服务为例构建了一组本体结构。

Deserts and Aeolian Desertification in China: Book review and some thoughts

Desertification is a global phenomenon that affects about two billion people. It occurs in arid zones where the annual precipitation is below 400 mm, partic- ularly in the marginal areas of the world＇s largest deserts. It is a result of water and wind erosion, over- grazing, global warm-ing, improper soil cultivation, and increased pressure ot population growth, and it causes degradation of soil and natural and agricultural vegetation. The direct result is less food for people and livestock, which influences pop- ulation and animal husbandry fluctuations. Despite ef- forts to combat and reduce desertification, the affected areas are annually increasing.

THE MOST PERFECT EXAMPLE OF AN ALIEN ECOLOGY EVER CONSTRUCTED

Much science-fiction literature is based upon the creation and exploration of alternative environments. Stanley G. Weinbaum's short story, “Parasite Planet,”introduces an unusual environment that may be wrong in the light of recent evidence on Venus but still stimulates the geographical imagination.
