In this paper we investigate various factors which prevent utility knowledge from being
fully exploited and suggest that integration techniques can be applied to improve the
quality of utility records. The paper suggests a framework which supports knowledge
and data integration. The framework supports utility integration at two levels: the
schema and data level. Schema level integration ensures that a single, integrated geospatial
data set is available for utility enquiries. Data level integration improves utility data
quality by reducing inconsistency, duplication and conflicts. Moreover, the framework
is designed to preserve autonomy and distribution of utility data. The ultimate aim of
the research is to produce an integrated representation of underground utility infrastructure
in order to gain more accurate knowledge of the buried services. It is hoped that
this approach will enable us to understand various problems associated with utility data,
and to suggest some potential techniques for resolving them.
