Host specificity in phylogenetic and geographic space
Trends in Parasitology, 2011The measurement of host specificity goes well beyond counting how many host species can successfully be used by a parasite. In particular, specificity can be assessed with respect to how closely related the host species are, or whether a parasite exploits the same or different hosts across its entire geographic range.

Orientation in Geographical Space
2018People live in a certain space and are therefore familiar with the immediate environment; however, the further we go, the more unknown or not at all known geographical space becomes. Thus, there is a need for studying the problem of orientation in geographical space. It allows for safe movement as well as on-ground orientation in nature.

Space and place in geographic decision making
1996 International Symposium on Technology and Society Technical Expertise and Public Decisions. Proceedings, 2002Recent innovations in computer science seem in some ways to have undercut traditional objections to the use of computers in decision making. For example, if some argued that traditional programming promoted a mindset within which decision making itself was a linguistic and rigidly rule-guided process, new systems of object-oriented programming seem to ...

Space, Time, and the Representation of Geographical Reality
Topoi, 2001Geographical information science is interesting from a philosophical point of view because the distinctions that its practitioners find themselves compelled to make have important resonances with distinctions that have been proposed in other contexts.

Lost in space, or confessions of an accidental geographer
International Journal of Humanities and Arts Computing, 2011This article reflects on the author's experience with historical GIS during the research of his 2008 manuscript Mapping Decline: St. Louis and the Fate of the American City. It assesses, in turn, the utility of maps and their role in historical research and writing; the investigatory and explanatory potential of historical GIS; and some of the limits ...

Geographic Space as a Set of Concrete Geographical Entities
1991This paper address the need for a theory of geographic space that handles space through the concrete objects or entities that actually create and form the space. Several trends seem to show the need for such a theory, which in fact would be a subset of a general spatial theory provided that it would specify what spatial relationships are possible and ...

Geographic IR and visualization in time and space
Proceedings of the 31st annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval, 2008This demonstration will show how graphical geospatial query specifications can be used to obtain sets of georeferenced data ranked by probability of relevance, and displayed geographically and temporally in a geospatial browser with temporal support.

Ontologies in support of activities in geographical space
International Journal of Geographical Information Science, 2001A method is proposed to derive ontologies of geographical domains from natural language texts that describe human activities. Through its textual grounding, the method addresses the issue of where to take the contents of ontologies from. Through its focus on actions afforded by domain objects, it establishes a criterion for selecting the contents.
