Abstract

The trend to equip information systems with question-answering capabilities raises the design problem of deciding which questions a system should be able to answer. Typical solutions build on mining human conversations or logs from similar systems for question patterns. For the case of questions about geographic places, we present a complementary approach, showing how to derive possible questions from an ontology of spatial information and a classification of place facets. We argue that such an approach reduces the inherent and substantial data bias of current solutions. At a more general level, we provide a novel understanding of spatial questions and their role in designing and using spatial information systems.

地点相关问题的语义
为信息系统配备问题回答能力的趋势提出了决定系统应该能够回答哪些问题的设计问题。典型的解决方案建立在从类似系统中挖掘人类对话或日志以获取问题模式的基础上。对于关于地理位置的问题,我们提出了一种互补的方法,展示了如何从空间信息的本体论和位置方面的分类中得出可能的问题。我们认为,这种方法减少了当前解决方案固有的、实质性的数据偏差。在更一般的层面上,我们对空间问题及其在设计和使用空间信息系统中的作用提供了新的理解。
