COGNITIVE GRAPHICS AND SEMANTIC MODELING FOR GEOSPATIAL SOLUTIONS IN ENERGY SECTOR

Abstract

The author team proposes the integration of mathematical and semantic modeling and visual analytics techniques, including the use of geographic information technologies, to solve geospatial problems. We con-siderthese types ofsemantic modelingasontological, cognitive, probability and event simulation. It is shown that-graphicsemantic modelshave properties of cognitive graphics. TraditionalGIS andgeo-toolsprovidingopportunities of 3D-geovizualization are compared.The author tool of 3D-geovizualization named Geocomponentandits application to solving of geospatialenergyproblems are described. We consider the integration of semantic modeling and 3D-geovizualization providing situational awareness of the researcher, and, as a result, the expansion of visual analytics opportunities and their using to solve geospatial problems of management in the energy sector.
