A CONCEPTUAL MODEL FOR THE REPRESENTATION OF LANDFORMS USING ONTOLOGY DESIGN PATTERNS
A landform is an area of a terrain with its own recognisable shape. Its definition is often qualitative and inherently vague.

| description | A landform is an area of a terrain with its own recognisable shape. Its definition is often qualitative and inherently vague. Hence landforms
are difficult to formalise in view of their extraction from a DTM. This paper presents a two-level framework for the representation
of landforms. The objective is to provide a structure where landforms can be conceptually designed according to a common model
which can be implemented. It follows the principle that landforms are not defined by geometrical characteristics but by salient features
perceived by people. Hence, these salient features define a skeleton around which the landform is built. The first level of our model
defines general concepts forming a landform prototype while the second level provides a model for the translation of these concepts
and landform extraction on a DTM. The model is still under construction and preliminary results together with current developments
are also presented. |
