Citations in the corpus

• Ontological considerations in GIScience (2005, background): “Much of the discussion in geographic ontology is, however, focused on identification of categories and prototypical instances (Mark et al. 1999, 2001, Smith and Mark 1999, 2001).”
• Geographic Object-Based Image Analysis – Towards a new paradigm (2014, positive): “Smith and Mark (2001) argue for a top-level geographic domain within their proposed general theory , with a pertinent basic level category being land cover entities such as mountain, hill, island, lake.”
• Toward the semantic geospatial web (2002, methodology): “a similar way, one needs to develop methods that describe the semantics of geospatial feature classes and geospatial labels [7, 13].”
