Objective
The conference will bring together senior researchers, young researchers and people from standardization in the field of Geoinformation (GI). This mixture motivate and emphasize theoretical research, probably leading to new research projects or co-operations, as well as it will clarify and influence emerging standards. With that the results can be exploited directly by the industry related to GI integration or interoperability. The conference will focus on the gap between research in ontology and epistemology of spatial extended objects on one hand, and research in representational models of spatial phenomena on the other hand. Standardization requires formal specifications of spatial objects and their behaviour. Uncertainly, although inevitable, is not formalized up to now. The interrelation between knowledge and formalisms is still an open question for research. In the absence of a formal theory, we are in a situation where a system designer may decide how to treat uncertainty. Standardization at this time is necessary, but premature, as recent results from research are not yet ready for incorporation. Ontology and epistemology of spatial extended objects provide a basis to develop formal models of spatial uncertainty. They distinguish between physical objects, where knowledge is uncertain by nature, and no-physical objects, where knowledge even can be exact. The location of physical object can be given approximately.
