IMPROVING ANALYSIS PATTERNS IN THE GEOGRAPHIC DOMAIN USING ONTOLOGICAL META-PROPERTIES

Evaldo Silva, Jugurta Oliveira, Gabriel Gonçalves

2008

Abstract

This article shows the improving of analysis patterns in the geographic domain through ontological meta-properties, where each pattern’s class has its concept analyzed ontologically. This improvement also permits to restructure the class diagram of analysis patterns, increasing the reuse quality. Besides improving the analysis patterns, it is proposed one more topic in the template for analysis patterns documentation. This topic is based on the specification of the main classes defined during the process.
