Geo-ontology is a newly risen research field in geographical information science(GIS),and has only a history of 10 years.Here we analyze the development and research progress of geo-ontology,a topic of considerable importance to research in China.Based on the deep analysis of the definition of science domain ontology,this paper develops the definition of geo-ontology and inquires into its research meaning.We list major international projects and academic conferences related to geo-ontology,and analyze in detail the important progress in geo-ontology theory research and application at home and abroad.The study of geo-ontology has become an important new and developing research direction in the international GIS domain and has had vigorous development there,but we have just begun research of this topic in China.Only a few scholars have explored and developed research on geo-ontology.Therefore,we should follow closely the research trends of international geo-ontology,and develop its theory,method and application in China.
