APPLYING ONTOLOGIES IN THE KNOWLEDGE DISCOVERY IN GEOGRAPHIC DATABASES

Abstract

This article proposes a software architecture to integrate geographic databases conceptual models. The goal is the preprocessing phase on the knowledge discovery in database, using geographic databases conceptual schemas as input data, in order to obtain analysis patterns candidates. The semantic unification is very important in this process, since the data mining tools are not capable to recognize synonyms neither to distinguish between homonymous. In this way a methodology to refer the knowledge basis was developed.
