5- Conclusions and Future Work
In this paper, we presented MPLoM, a platform we had implemented, to
test the feasibility of location and cartographic integrations for the same
service listed by many providers on a mobile screen. Belief theory, geo
ontology, geo web services and other fusion reasoning are mainly used.
We also suggested many solutions to achieve the interoperability of geo-
graphic databases at the application layer. Comparing our approach to
OGC standards, we believe that Symbology Encoding can play a backup
solution for common dictionary of symbols instead of implementing our
building/matching ontology framework with CartOWL output file. Be-
sides, our Unified Compact GML file will contain same features but in
compressed tags as WFS file. Finally, instead of calling WMS for mapping
purpose, we had implemented via JavaScript and AJAX, our MPLoM
source code for mash ups on Google maps and Bing.
Future enhancements should be done: 1) for the extension of G-MATCH
(Zhou 2003) or Protégé open source to include visual concepts such as
color, icon, texture, number, etc, and not only semantic ones and being
able to do the geographic auto- matching for semantic and visual concepts
without any problem, 2) for the development of Visual Attributes recogni-
tion algorithms for automatic legend-based retrieval as per J. Bertin's
knowledge concerning visual variables (orientation, texture, hue, shape,
etc.) and human perception (map semiotics) and 3) for the development of
composite geographic web services towards a complete interoperability
without any human intervention and the semantic geo web services domain
ontology to perform matchmaking between the descriptions of a required
service and the advertised ones with intelligent orchestration.
