1 Theoretical approach to urban ontology: a contribution from urban system analysis University of Pisa Department of Civil Engineering Polytechnic of Milan Department of Architecture and Planning ing. Caglioni Matteo prof. Rabino Giovanni 1st Workshop of COST Action C21 University of Geneva, 6-7 November 2006
2 Definition of Ontology Guidelines to built ontology: A bibliography study. (C. Roussay, 2005) An ontology is a formal and explicit specification of a shared conceptualization (Studer, 1998) Slide 01 of 29
3 Formal language Natural languages aren t able to describe in a powerful way concept definitions and relationships. Syntactical machine readable languages such as HTML or XML are limited because they are only intended for human consumption. Slide 02 of 29
4 Formal language We need to make the information not only machine readable but machine-understandable. In order to gain machine understanding we need semantic languages which are able to define meaning for the stored information. Slide 03 of 29
5 Formal language Requirements for ontology language Easy to use and comprehend Compatible with existing standards Formally specified Adequately expressive Possibility to perform an automate reasoning Slide 04 of 29
6 Formal language OIL (Ontology Inference Layer) DAML (DARPA Agent Mark-up Language) DAML+OIL OWL (Ontology Web Language) OWL lite (First Order Logic) OWL DL (Descriptive Logic) OWL Full Slide 05 of 29
7 Shared and reusable ontologies Ontology building is an iterative process characterized by an high cost. There are databases with ontologies already developed, but these resources are limited. Formal structure and formal language allow to re-use ontology in another application. Re-using ontologies allows to share knowledge contained inside them. Slide 06 of 29
8 The object physical object, which are entities limited in space and in time. social object, which are entities just limited in time (i.e. a contract, or a promise) ideal object, which are entities not limited in space and in time. (Casati, 1998; Ferraris, 2005; Varzi 2005) Slide 07 of 29
9 Semantic relationships The most common way to represent objects in an ontology is using semantic relationships between concepts, which give a hierarchical structure to the whole system. Slide 08 of 29
10 Semantic relationships Taxonomy (Hiperonomy, Hiponomy) X is a kind of Y (o Y has a kind of X). characterize relationship between classes and subclasses, where subclasses inherit all proprieties of the their class (flat, detach house, cinema, theatre are kinds of buildings). Partonomy (Meronimy, Olonimy) X is a part of Y (o Y has a part X). the sum of parts of an object constitute the object itself (window, door, roof are parts of a house). Slide 09 of 29
11 Semantic relationships Semantic relationship between verbs Toponimy: a verb is a troponym of another one, when the first expresses a particular manner of the second (march - walk). Implication: an action implies another one, when the first action can t be performed without to perform also the second (snore - sleep). Slide 10 of 29
12 Semantic relationships Lexical relationships are important relations between concepts that depend by phrases in which they are Synonymy: two concepts are synonyms, if substituting one concept with the other one inside a phrase, the value of truth of phrase doesn t change. Antinomy: the antonym (or contrary) is a concept having a meaning opposite to that of another concept. Polysemy: the polysemous is a concept with more than one meaning. Slide 11 of 29
13 Semantic relationships Semantic relationships are easy to use, also because we already know their proprieties and their formal representation there are other kinds of relationships we can add to ontology, but we need to define them and characterize them in a formal way. Slide 12 of 29
14 Semantic relationships <detach house, artefact, flat, garden, construction, building, structure, bridge, antropic object> Word list {antropic object} {artefact} {structure, costruction} {garden} {building} {bridge} Structured dictionary {flat} {detach house} Slide 13 of 29
15 Semantic relationships 1 define theory: buildings 2 define class: building(x) a instance-of(white House,building) b instance-of(louvre,building) c instance-of(scala,building) 3 define relationship: kind-of(x,b) a kind-of(theatre,building) b kind-of(hospital,building) c kind-of(house,building) 4 define relationship: constitute-by(b,x) a constitute-by(building,doors) b constitute-by(building,windows) c constitute-by(building,walls) Slide 14 of 29
16 Semantic relationships 1 define theory: buildings 2 define class: building(x) 3 define relationship: made-of(e,material) a e,m: made-of(e,m) -> instance-of(e,building) & (m = concrete or m = steel) 4 define relationship: kind-of(e,structure) a kind-of(e,steel) instance-of(e,building) & made-of(e,steel) & made-of(e,concrete) b kind-of(e,con) instance-of(e,building) & made-of(e,concrete) & made-of(e,steel) c kind-of(e,r_con) instance-of(e,building) & made-of(e,concrete) & made-of(e,steel) Slide 15 of 29

21 Urban sprawl TURIN Slide 18 of 29
22 Urban sprawl HELSINKI Slide 18 of 29
23 Urban sprawl Urban sprawl, an uncontrolled and ungovernable growth of low density urbanized areas, is the result of a localization process, determined by complex urban dynamics acting on territory. We need a systemic view of the city. Slide 19 of 29
24 Urban ontology Domain: urban system Definition: city has seen like a machine, a system therefore, modified by man, inside of which he lives, where for living we mean the performance of all those activities which characterize human being (i.e. eating, sleeping, working, having social relationships, thinking, and having opinions and emotions). Slide 20 of 29
25 Urban ontology Towntology Slide 21 of 29
26 Urban ontology Protégé Slide 22 of 29
27 Urban ontology It s possible to identify an isomorphism between concepts in ontology and entities in a model also between relationships, defined and represented in ontology, and equations which connect different entities using a mathematical form. Slide 23 of 29
28 Urban ontology According with our systemic view of the city, we propose to represent ontology using a classic input-output structure of the urban system. Slide 24 of 29
29 The Lowry Model Slide 25 of 29
30 The Lowry Model The Lowry model was one of the first transportation / land use model to be developed in Even if its formulation is rather simple, it provides the relationships between transportation and land use. The core assumption of the Lowry model is that regional and urban growth (or decline) is a function of the expansion (or contraction) of the basic sector. Slide 26 of 29
31 The Lowry Model To build an ontology following a top-down process is an ambitious and rather complex project we purpose to start from already existing mathematical models, building ontology through a generalization process. Slide 27 of 29
32 Model building levels Mental Map Conceptual Map Cognitive Map Ontology Qualitative Model Fuzzy Model Quantitative Model generalization mathematical, deterministic, probabilistic Slide 17 of 29

35 The Lowry Model Population Economy Transportation Residence Workplace Land use Services Slide 28 of 29
36 Conclusions It s possible to extract knowledge through logical inference (reasoning). Ontology as method to build a database and to share information. Ontology as model building process for urban systems. Slide 29 of 29
