Conceptual Aspects: How Landmarks Can Be Described in Data Models - Landmarks: GIScience for Intelligent Services - page 130

category landmark (in a certain context), but questions whether this landmarkness
comes out of people's rating, data mining in harvested user generated data, or expert
assignment, and whether it represents an object's prominence, its cognitive salience,
or its centrality in an environment have been left out so far. They will be discussed
in the next chapter.
