Why do we need geospatial<br />

semantics?<br />

• Several approaches<br />

• Metadata (Data’s data)<br />

• Synonymy (Different words same meaning)<br />

• UC Santa Barbara and UCSB<br />

• Zip code and postal code<br />

• Polysemy (Same word has different meanings)<br />

• Address (location or speech?)<br />

• Wood (a piece of tree or an area covered with trees?)<br />
