Abstract
As business intelligence is for companies, territorial intelligence is for local authorities. However, it is not the simple exportation of business intelligence concepts and tools, but overall a new discipline characterized by the amalgamation of collective human intelligence and computer intelligence. As a result, geographic knowledge bases, rules and inference engines are not only based on logic but also on topology, geometry and linguistics, and must take multiple actors’ points of view into account. The scope of this paper will be to present the concepts necessary to construct such systems, i.e. to pass from intelligence to geographic knowledge engineering.
Highlights
How to efficiently manage a city or to plan a territory under the perspective of sustainable development? How to involve citizens in thinking about their future? What can be the assistance of information technologies in this context? What can be the main requirements for organizing smart cities? Possible answers lie in the concept of territorial intelligence
In the context of companies, business intelligence is overall seen as the use of business rules which are a way to model the key-elements for reasoning or making decisions essentially based on mathematical logics
Remember that the ultimate goal is to implement such a system; but a lot of preliminary studies must be carried out and integrated into a research agenda before reaching this goal; and one of them is to model reality in order to be acceptable in arti cial intelligence systems, and more precisely knowledge management systems. ree theoretical directions must be followed, (i) to clarify the semantics of geographic knowledge, (ii) to clarify what is need in territorial intelligence for efficient planning and governance, and (iii) to exhibit a knowledge model integrating all those issues
Summary
How to efficiently manage a city or to plan a territory under the perspective of sustainable development? How to involve citizens in thinking about their future? What can be the assistance of information technologies in this context? What can be the main requirements for organizing smart cities? Possible answers lie in the concept of territorial intelligence. How to efficiently manage a city or to plan a territory under the perspective of sustainable development? In the context of companies, business intelligence is overall seen as the use of business rules which are a way to model the key-elements for reasoning or making decisions essentially based on mathematical logics ( rstorder, fuzzy, predicate-based, propositional, etc.). It is more complex because in addition to those logics, 2D space must be taken into account, i.e. by including topology and geometry in reasoning. As business intelligence appears as the basis for the management of companies, what about the management and planning in local authorities in which several stakeholders can have very different points of view with different background, experiences and knowledge? is will be the scope of this paper to examine how business intelligence can be transformed into territorial intelligence
