*CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS*

*/Universal Ontology of Geographic Space: Semantic Enrichment for 
Spatial Data/*

A book edited by Tomaž Podobnikar and Marjan Čeh

University of Ljubljana, Slovenia

*Introduction*

The universal ontology of geographic space as a semantic reference 
system is a severe scientific challenge that opens several questions. 
This book is intended to answer some these, like "is it reasonable to 
design universal ontology of geographic space and expect to be applied?" 
Or "how to implement such ontology to professional and general society 
through distributed information systems?" However, we assume that any 
spatial data that are semantically weak could be enriched to gain more 
efficient interoperability. The universal ontology of geographic space 
as enrichment engine of spatial data semantics is conceived as basically 
interdisciplinary. There exist various topics in the literature on the 
semantics of spatial symbologysm and different problems on developing 
spatial ontologies of geographic space, but correlation in databases 
between realities of space, concepts in human mind, and meaning of 
symbols/words is virtually hidden. For example, data management and 
analyses are often limited to the concepts of hardware, software and 
standards. The book is going to integrate a complexity of spatial 
dimension in geographic space with the philosophical interest to 
ontology, and furthermore the universal ontology of geographic space.

*Objective of the Book*

This book will escalate the current scope of research in support of 
development of semantically interoperable systems of geographic space 
and to increase automated understandability of data, interoperability of 
systems, application of interdisciplinary knowledge, and enlargement of 
the user's friendly environments. It can uncover the curtain of 
computing-driven dominance over the topics of semantics in "geo-" 
domain, which is widespread over the pillars of philosophy, logic and 
linguistics as the intrinsic disciplines of understanding spatial 
issues. We challenge potential authors to reveal the development stage 
of the universal solution to geospatial semantics domain which would 
serve as a direct means for semantic enrichment for spatial data.

*Target Audience *

The potential audience of this book will be from the "spatially" 
non-specific disciplines and fields: philosophy, theoretical 
linguistics, cognitive disciplines, informatics, robotics, etc. 
Nevertheless, the most typical audience is from the fields of spatial 
sciences, namely geoinformatics. In addition, the proposed book will aid 
to the prospective audience, e.g. to university lecturers and 
professors, students, researchers, developers of the spatial 
applications (geomatics): GIS or navigation systems, and to governmental 
purposes, planning agencies, environmental management, standardization, 
and harmonization purposes, etc. Additionally the developers of the 
spatial semantic applications will gain important guidance.

*Submission Procedure *

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before June 
15, 2010, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and 
concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals 
will be notified by July 15, 2010 about the status of their proposals 
and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted 
by October 15, 2010. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a 
double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve 
as reviewers for this project.

*Publisher*

This book is scheduled to be published by IGI Global (formerly Idea 
Group Inc.), publisher of the "Information Science Reference" (formerly 
Idea Group Reference), "Medical Information Science Reference," 
"Business Science Reference," and "Engineering Science Reference" 
imprints. For additional information regarding the publisher, please
