Explore the Important Role that the Semantics of Land Use and Land
Cover Plays within a Broader Environmental Context Focused on the
information semantics of land use and land cover (LULC) and
providing a platform for reassessing this field, Land Use and Land
Cover Semantics: Principles, Best Practices, and Prospects presents
a comprehensive overview of fundamental theories and best practices
for applying semantics in LULC. Developed by a team of experts
bridging relevant areas related to the subject (LULC studies,
ontology, semantic uncertainty, information science, and earth
observation), this book encourages effective and critical uses of
LULC data and considers practical contexts where LULC semantics can
play a vital role. The book includes work on conceptual and
technological semantic practices, including but not limited to
categorization; the definition of criteria for sets and their
members; metadata; documentation for data reuse; ontology logic
restrictions; reasoning from text sources; and explicit semantic
specifications, ontologies, vocabularies, and design patterns. It
also includes use cases from applicable semantics in searches, LULC
classification, spatial analysis and visualization, issues of Big
Data, knowledge infrastructures and their organization, and
integration of bottom-up and top-down approaches to collaboration
frameworks and interdisciplinary challenges such as EarthCube. This
book: Centers on the link between planning goals, objectives, and
policy and land use classification systems Uses examples of maps
and databases to draw attention to the problems of semantic
integration of land use/cover data Discusses the principles used in
a categorization Explores the origins and impacts of semantic
variation using the example of land cover Examines how crowd
science and human perceptions can be used to improve the quality of
land cover datasets, and more Land Use and Land Cover Semantics:
Principles, Best Practices, and Prospects offers an up-to-date
account of land use/land cover semantics, looks into aspects of
semantic data modeling, and discusses current approaches, ongoing
developments, and future trends. The book provides guidance to
anyone working with land use or land cover data, looking to
harmonize categories, repurpose data, or otherwise develop or use
LULC datasets.
