General
globalization urges forward integration processes even in sphere of cartography
and geoinformatics. Here, as well as everywhere,
cooperation between separate, often, absolutely unlike Operators continues to
amplify. There are problems of adjustment before not planned contacts.
There are
not enough decisions on an exchange of images or especially spatial information
in many cases for the organization of communications. The new, higher
requirements directed on a straight line close conceptually substantial linkage
of separate maps (models), and, accordingly, systems of modelling
are shown. Such interaction should be substantially full, conceptually exact,
and also operative and automatic. In an ideal, contact at this level should be
provided with any Operator. Thus, the purpose is the sanguineous free
(unobstructed) data exchange creating the widest network of modelling.
The decision of a problem in specified maximalistic
arrangement is impossible at present, but in the long term it looks just so.
One of
key difficulties here consists that conceptually semantic spaces of modelling separate systems are far from always (and, more
likely, as a rule) being coincided. Thus it is unimportant in how many
conceptually semantic particles the divergence is found out. Incorrect perusal
even one data is capable to lead to extensive and most unpleasant consequences.
The usual
way of adjustment sanguineous conceptual docking consists in preliminary fine
tuning a corresponding subsystem at the Addresses (or the Source). It is not
always possible in full and always demands greater expenses. Thus it is
necessary to search for answers to questions of principle.
The main
obstacle in this direction consists in absence of a sufficient scientific
basis, leaning on which it would be possible to achieve successfully and
quickly exact and full docking of the semantic platforms which are taking place
at separate (differing) Operators. Without completion of this blank it is
impossible to wait for occurrence of effective tools. The concept showing all
way from theoretical substantiations to technological decisions is necessary
for the decision of all costing problems set.
Element
of such concept can become the thesis about compatibility of any (somehow
differing) semantic systems on horizon of the atomic senses setting the
elementary objective properties (attributes), identical at all: From Zulu up to
Norwegians and from oilmen up to ecologists.
Other
component of the concept is the plan cross (multisubject,
multiscale and multilingual) Dictionary of the
elementary objective senses, as uniform platform accessible to all diverse
Operators.
One more
unit of the concept is the idea of own meta language development with semantics
orientated on an essence of cartographical modelling.
Undertaken
efforts on development of the prospective concept specified sections with various
Participants association in an uniform substantial semantic space of modelling show huge capacity and extreme many sided nature
of all these questions. These works have the open character. Authors are
capable to bring up creation of new generation of intellectual means of
cartographical and geoinformation modelling.
