Intelligent GIS: Architectural Issues and Implementation Methods
Viktoras Paliulionis · 2000
Abstract. The paper presents an intelligent GIS architecture that enables us to extend GIS func-tionality by using domain specific knowledge and inference engine. In this architecture, an intelli-gent agent monitors events, which occur in the GIS environment, and execute tasks depending on user’s actions. The intelligent agent includes an expert system shell and knowledge base. A hybrid knowledge representation method is used that integrates rule-based, object-oriented, and procedural knowledge representations. Key words: intelligent GIS, software integration, software architecture, expert systems. 1.
