WAN Qing 1, WAN Hong-tao 2, DING Guo-xiang 1. The Visual Geo-Model Construction Environment Based on Concept Map[J]. Journal of Remote Sensing, 2003, (5): 412-419. DOI: 10.11834/jrs.20030512.
The main role of map is confined to representation of various kinds of decision schemata and appraisal results. But it almost does no good to the understanding and definition of problems. The concept map is a new method that can support the knowledge derivation and knowledge sharing. Through the concept map method the new knowledge can be effectively obtained. The experiential knowledge of different user and expert can be organized through the concept entity and concept relation and represented visually as map
thus support the geo-model construction. The Geo-model construction process based on concept map has 5 steps: Geo-model description
Geo-model definition
model construction
transformation from Geo-model to computational model
and CASE generation. Then we discuss in detail the characteristic of the model supporting system and the visual model construction environment. Finally the background data
such as the water engineering distribution and spatial data
of the Yongdinghe Watershed is used to support the construction of Concept Map model of the Xiaoqinghe floodplain
on which the flood simulation model of the Yongdinghe River and the Xiaoqinghe floodplain is constructed. The flood simulation result is overlaid with social and economic data to evaluate the flood disaster loss and the results is satisfactory and encouraging.
