Scope

This document provides a formal semantics for the abstract syntax of ISO 24617-7 that specifies ways of annotating spatial information in natural language such as English. The task of the proposed semantics is of two kinds: (1) translation of annotation structures to logical forms and (2) modeltheoretic interpretation of logical forms. Logical forms are represented in a type-theoretic first-order predicate logic. These logical forms are then interpreted with respect to a model for part of the world to which an annotated language is referentially anchored to.

Purpose

An explicit semantics is necessary for the specification provided by ISO-Space, as the representations created in accord with that language will not have a significant impact on AI and automatic inferencing without explicit interpretation.
