对路线信息建模的本体论和概念方法的新兴兴趣源于新的信息技术以及对空间认知的多学科兴趣。语言学研究言语路线方向；制图学对路线图和地图用户的信息需求进行研究；计算机科学开发了路线的形式表示，旨在构建新的寻路应用程序。与地理信息学相结合，空间领域知识本体被组装起来，同时开发用于位置感知寻路辅助设备的传感技术（例如手机、支持 GPS 的设备或 PDA）。这些多学科的联合努力增强了路线方向的认知方法。在本文中，我们提出了一种跨学科方法来建模路线信息，即寻路编排理论。寻路任务是功能寻路和路线方向元素的心理概念化。通过寻路编排理论，我们提出了一种基于定性计算并通过行为实验研究完善的（心理）概念路线知识的正式处理方法。本贡献分为三个部分：首先，我们介绍了寻路动作的理论。其次，我们提出了基于认知原则的术语重写规则，并且可以根据不同的用户需求定制路线方向。第三，我们举例说明了我们的方法的各种应用场景。 (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
The emergent interest in ontological and conceptual approaches to modeling route information results from new information technologies as well as from a multidisciplinary interest in spatial cognition. Linguistics investigates verbal route directions; cartography carries out research on route maps and on the information needs of map users; and computer science develops formal representations of routes with the aim to build new wayfinding applications. In concert with geomatics, ontologies of spatial domain knowledge are assembled while sensing technologies for location-aware wayfinding aids are developed simultaneously (e.g. cell phones, GPS-enabled devices or PDAs). These joint multidisciplinary efforts have enhanced cognitive approaches for route directions.In this article, we propose an interdisciplinary approach to modeling route information, the wayfinding choreme theory. Wayfinding choremes are mental conceptualizations of functional wayfinding and route direction elements. With the wayfinding choreme theory, we propose a formal treatment of (mental) conceptual route knowledge that is based on qualitative calculi and refined by behavioral experimental research. This contribution has three parts: First, we introduce the theory of wayfinding choremes. Second, we present terms rewriting rules that are grounded in cognitive principles and can tailor route directions to different user requirements. Third, we exemplify various application scenarios for our approach. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
