Abstract

This reference landform ontology is intended to guide automated delineation of landforms from digital elevation models (DEMs) and semantic information retrieval about landforms. Since only form related information is available from DEMs, the categories of this reference ontology are defined based only on morphological criteria. The choice of the landform categories is informed by ethnophysiographic and spatial cognition research. The proposed taxonomy is work in progress and reflects the current focus on automated delineation and mapping of depression landforms (e.g., basins, valleys and canyons).
