DAML Map is an ontology and software for defining
and presenting map overlays in a renderer-independent manner.
It is based loosely on the representation used by the Map Server from the
DARPA Joint Task Force Advanced Technology Demonstration (JTF ATD)
program (1993-1999).
Dan Connolly employed a similar approach in developing a DAML ontology
to represent
graphs.
Example
The map below was rendered from
australiamap.owl
using
BBN's open source
OpenMap
software.
Lines represent great-circle routes between the
indicated airports.
