Rappresentare il territorio attraverso il collaborative mapping. Il progetto OnToMap

Angioletta Voghera, Liliana Ardissono, Luigi La Riccia, Maurizio Lucenteforte, Adriano Savoca


Territorial planning has been interested in the representation of space since the
seventies, when it recognized as essential the support of social actors in the decisionmaking.
The participatory construction of spatial representations evolved ever since:
starting from the paper representation (low usability and scalability) it moved to the
use of GIS and PGIS systems. The investigation of the possibilities offered by Web 3.0
and ontologies and their integration with traditional representations is at the basis of
OnToMap application that implements a synergistic exchange between institutional
territorial knowledge and the knowledge of citizens, achievable thanks to the mediation
of communication provided by a semantic representation of territory.
