Abstract
In recent years, there has been much research on ontologies
for geographic information (GI) services. But to date, focus
has been on semantics of data and operations. Much
less attention has been given to semantics of quality of GI
services. In addressing this gap, this paper proposes an ontology
framework for quality of GI services. The framework
has an upper ontology, two primary domain ontologies
and potentially many application ontologies. The ontologies
provide concepts for unambiguously defining and reasoning
about quality of GI services. We see the main strength of
the framework as being its holistic view of quality; it integrates
data quality and quality of service (QoS) which hitherto
have been defined separately. Besides, the framework
builds on established data quality and QoS concepts which
guarantees its relevance and acceptance.
