Matched Lists

crosswalk method

match types to control vocabulary
PRC
JP
TW
find all types from each list that = (ADL) Type “Piers”

within a common subset, find direct matches
PRC
JP
TW
match types that have a specific semantic equivalence, in this case those types that = “dock” or “pier”

some types have more than one direct match

results of matching to a single control type

“indirect” semantic equivalence
“power generation sites”control type of semantic equivalence:

crosswalk search
search item: resulting ADL type: power generation sites
show crosswalked list results:
• PRC National Standard List -- 14 power generation sites (out of 887 types)
• Taiwan NGIS Standard List -- 11 power generation sites (out of 404 types)
show Taiwan selection:

future steps
basic crosswalk:
1. crosswalk unrelated feature type lists to ADL types
2. post the crosswalked lists at a clearinghouse website
3. create a search engine to find related types on the fly
towards a domain ontology:
4. perform a formal concept analysis of crosswalked list types
5. propose domain ontology based on the formal concept analysis
