Coping with the Intrinsic and Deictic Uses of Spatial Prepositions.
Elisabeth André, Guido Bosch, Gerd Herzog, Thomas Rist · 1986
This paper 1 deals with the definition of a computational semantics for spatial relations between objects in a scene. In particular we examine the effects of the observer's position on the computation of spatial relations, the use of path prepositions, and degrees of applicability for spatial relations. Representational prerequisites and the computational analysis of spatial relations are investigated in the German dialogue system CITYTOUR.
