Developing a Feasible and Maintainable Ontology for Automatic Landscape Design
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
In general, landscape architecture includes analysis, planning, design, administration and management of natural and artificial. An important aspect is the formation of so-called sustainable landscapes that allow maximum use of the environment, natural resources and promote sustainable restoration of ecosystems. For such purposes, a designer needs a complete database with existing and suitable plants, but no designing tool has one. Therefore it is presented the structure and the development of on ontology suitable for storing and managing all information and knowledge about plants. The advantage is that the format of the ontology allows the storage of any plant species (e.g. live or fossil) and automated reasoning. Ontology is a formal conceptualization of a particular knowledge about the world, through the explicit representation of basic concepts, relations, and inference rules about themselves. Therefore the ontology may be used by a design tool for helping the designer and choosing the best options for a sustainable landscape.
