Abstract:

The GIS and mobile navigation markets are large and still have growth potential. The effectiveness of end user products in these markets is directly related to the quality of the geographic data provided. Likewise, the importance of quality maintenance and related tools increases for digital content providers. This demonstration paper presents a quality maintenance tool for the company Tele Atlas. It is implemented to discover regularities, in the form of rules, and corresponding anomalies in geographic data by the integration of an algorithm from the field of Descriptive Inductive Logic Programming (DILP). It is generic in the sense that it discovers regularities and/or anomalies that hold over a selection of related geographic feature and property types, and apply to a selection of geographic areas.
