These sources come with their own positional errors due to which the map features extracted from these sources are always misaligned with respect to each other, making the conflation of map features a difficult task. We propose a novel method to find map feature correspondences between 2 sets of map feature datasets obtained from different sources by first converting them into a heterogeneous geospatial graph and then doing node representation learning using a graph neural network that can generate vector embeddings that encode information of morphology, attributes, and absolute and relative positions of the map feature with respect to its neighbours along with aggregated information from its neighbours. This process can be employed to generate embeddings of map feature nodes, which are amicable to identifying spatially similar and corresponding map feature nodes across disparate sources with varying degree of similarity scores. When applied aptly, these map feature correspondences between two sources can be used as anchor points to perform spatial alignment with linear or nonlinear transforms, leading to a better conflation.","PeriodicalId":117618,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Geospatial Knowledge Graphs","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126133229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Undoubtedly, such massive urban data can be explored for a better city and better life, as what the urban computing community has been dedicating in recent years. Nevertheless, existing studies are still facing the challenges of data fusion for the urban data as well as the knowledge distillation for specific applications. Moreover, there is a lack of full-featured and user-friendly platform for both researchers and developers in urban computing scenario. Therefore, in this paper, we present an urban knowledge graph (UrbanKG) system to incorporate knowledge graph with urban computing. Specifically, the system introduces a complete scheme to construct knowledge graph for urban data fusion from Data layer to Construction layer. The system further develops the multiple layers of Storage, Algorithm, Operation and Applications, which achieve the knowledge distillation and support various functions to the users. We perform three representative and practical use cases and demonstrate the system capability of boosting performance in various downstream applications, indicating a promising research direction of knowledge-driven urban computing.","PeriodicalId":117618,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Geospatial Knowledge Graphs","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115457926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we present a geospatial knowledge graph (GeoKG)-based method for measuring the resilience of a multi-commodity flow network. Specifically, we develop a CFS-GeoKG ontology to describe geospatial semantics of a multi-commodity flow network comprehensively, and design resilience metrics that measure the node-level and network-level dependence of single-sourcing, distant, or non-adjacent suppliers/customers in food supply chains. We conduct a case study of the US state-level agricultural multi-commodity flow network with hierarchical commodity types. The results indicate that, by leveraging GeoKG, our method supports measuring both node-level and network-level resilience across space and over time and also helps discover concentration patterns of agricultural resources in the spatial network at different geographic scales.","PeriodicalId":117618,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Geospatial Knowledge Graphs","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134049606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
