Overview
- This book shows why and how to use ontologies in a specific area, namely, urban development.
- Offers a multidisciplinary view of ontologies in urban development The authors are from several disciplines such as architecture, construction, civil engineering, geography, information systems, artificial intelligence.
- Investigates many aspects of ontological engineering, such as semantic heterogeneity, multilingualism, re-use of knowledge sources, etc. that are rarely put together
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Advanced Information and Knowledge Processing (AI&KP)

From the reviews:
“This book, a collection of papers by different authors, presents an overview of the theory and practice of ontology engineering. … This book is good reading for any professional interested in ontology engineering and domain ontology design. It is an accurate representation of the state of the art of urban ontologies, and leaves readers with a sense of the amount of work still required for real urban interoperational systems.” (Mariana Damova, ACM Computing Reviews, December, 2011)
