An Ontology-Based Approach for Handling Explicit and Implicit Knowledge over Trajectories

The current information systems manage several, different and huge databases. The data can be temporal, spatial and other application domains with specific knowledge. For these reasons, new approaches must be designed to fully exploit data expressiveness and heterogeneity taking into account application’s needs. As part of ontology-based information system design, this paper proposes an ontology modeling approach for trajectories of moving objects. Consider domain, temporal and spatial knowledge gives a complexity to our system. We propose optimizations to annotate data with these knowledge.
