Nowadays, spatial data exists pervasively in various information systems and applications. The unprecedented amount of spatial data that has been amassed and that is being produced in an increasing speed, via various facilities such as sensors, GPS receivers, smart phones and remote sensing, calls for extensive, deep and sustainable research on spatial information modelling, management and mining. In the past decade, we witnessed increasing research interests in these areas from the database, data mining and geographic information systems (GIS) communities.
This special issue on aims to solicit original research contributions and practical experiences of spatial information modelling, management and mining.
Targeted topics include, but are not limited to:
Spatial information modelling
- Spatial data modelling
- Conceptual and logical models for spatial data
- Spatial services modelling
- Spatial information grid
- Ontologies for GIS applications
- Schema mapping and evolution
- Spatial semantic issues
- Spatial query languages and interfaces
- Spatial query processing and optimization
- Spatial search engines
- Spatial data management in cloud
- Spatial information integration
- Spatial information interoperability and standards
- Spatial metadata management
- Spatial information visualization
- Location-based services
- Spatial correlation analysis
- Spatial clustering
- Spatial regression and classification
- Spatial trend detection
- Spatial outlier detection
- Spatial data warehousing
