  • The VAS ontological model enables the semantic integration of the heterogeneous observations used in ASOTVAS project ( https://robotica.uv.es/proyectos/ASOTVAS/ ), including ground measurements, UAV acquisitions and satellite products. Built as an extension of the W3C SOSA ontology (Janowicz et al., 2018), it incorporates a domain-specific vocabulary tailored to the needs of the Valencia Anchor Station as a CEOS LPV supersite. The model provides additional classes and properties to represent, in a homogeneous way, the different observational platforms: field sensors installed at VAS stations, UAVs equipped with multispectral cameras, and satellite missions such as Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3. All observations follow a common SOSA pattern and share the same structure for results, units and timestamps. By aligning field, UAV and satellite observations under a unified semantic framework, the VAS ontology supports interoperable data access, consistent representation across scales, and integrated analysis of the multi-source measurements collected in ASOTVAS. @en
  • The notion of territory plays a major role in human and social sciences. In an historical context, most approaches are irrelevant as they rely on geometric data, which is not available. In order to represent historical territories,we conceived the HHT ontology (Hierarchical Historical Territory) to represent hierarchical historical territorial divisions, without having to know their geometry. This approach relies on a notion of building blocks to replace polygonal geometry @en
