Abstract: [eng] [cze]
A key point in modern automated data processing is metadata semantics representation. Employing Semantic Web existing features - ontologies - is a promising option. Ontologies open a novel approach to knowledge representation. The paper presents a GIS (Geographic Information System) domain application illustrating ontological approach to data integration and data processing automation in the specific system. This VirGIS system is an integration system that works with spatio-temporal data. We start our study with developing the data representation based on common Semantic Web techniques and build a VirGIS ontology. V současném zpracování dat je klíčové, jak reprezentovat metadata. Jako slibná možnost se jeví využití existujícího rysu sémantického webu - ontologií. Článek prezentuje aplikaci v doméně dat GIS, na níž ilustruje ontologický přístup k integraci dat a zpracování dat.
