Abstract

The paper describes a new approach to creating technology of automated identification of the structure and content of a GIS database of environmental information from multiformat data. Solving this problem is very important nowadays, because the amount of informal according to common principles information is growing. The authors proposed an approach to handling such information using three interrelated ontological databases – database of objects, their attribute and spatial characteristics, respectively. The proposed technology will improve the relevance of search results and coherent environmental information on objects of GIS maps through the use of three types of information data models.
