3.3.1.3 Content

The fusion of nodes and the toponym database, assigning the actual place name information to
nodes, will make it convenient to overlay nodes on maps or images, and increase the efficiency of
sensor accessing and dispatching. Fusing sensors with the toponym database will facilitate the
graphical display of sensors on the map, and provide data support for sensor planning,
arrangements, as well as intensive observations under emergencies. The observations fusing with
the toponym database, mainly adding observed properties, will make the demonstration of the
data's geographic positions more intuitive, and convenient to be invoked at any time. The fusion
between events and toponym, adding graphic position labels for events, will contribute to map
display, pattern of spatial distribution, and causality inferring for events. The technical workflow of
matching resources up with the toponym database in IMSSC is shown in Figure 16 [b‐Smart].
