Third International Conference, GeoS 2009, Mexico City, Mexico, December 3-4, 2009, Proceedings

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Geo Spatial Semantics, Geo S 2009, held in Mexico City, Mexico in December 2009. The 10 revised full papers presented together with 2 keynote speeches were carefully reviewed and selected from 19 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections foundations on geo-semantics; formal representation of geospatial data; semantics-based information retrieval and recommmender systems; integration of sematics into spatial query processing; and geo-ontologies and applications.
