Interoperability between Geographic Information System (GIS) of different
infrastructure companies is still a problem to be handled. Infrastructure companies
deal with many operations as a part of their daily routine such as a regular
maintenance, or sometimes they deal with unexpected situations such as a
malfunction due to natural event, like a flood or an earthquake. These situations
may affect all companies and affected infrastructure companies response to these
effects. Responses may result in consequences and in order to model these
consequences on GIS, GISs are able to share information, which brings the
interoperability problem into the scene.
The present research, aims at finding an answer to interoperability problem between
GISs of different companies by considering contextual information. During the
study, the geographical features are handled as the major concern and
interoperability problem is examined by targeting them. The model constructed in
this research is based on the ontology and because the meaning of the terms in the
ontology depends on the context, ontology based context modeling is also used.
