Description and classification of generic landforms: from words to concepts for digital use and decision support

在过去的十年中，地理信息工程的重点已经从关注性能和准确性的计算问题转移到决策问题，目标是能够根据可用的信息做出决策。软件应用程序应该在语义级别检索和处理数据，以做出自己的决定或帮助用户做出明智的决定。为了推理，空间实体被视为具有自己的空间和语义属性和关系的对象。

In this last decade, the focus in geomatics engineering has shifted from computational issues looking at performance and accuracy to decisional issues where the objective is to be able to make decisions from the information available. Software applications are supposed to retrieve and process data at a semantic level to make their own decisions or to assist a user in making an informed decision. In order to reason, spatial entities are perceived as objects with their own spatial and semantic properties and relationships.
