in: Daniel D. Montello (ed), Spatial information theory, Berlin, Springer, 2001Abstract
The paper examines ways in which the interpretation of spatial concepts is affected by vagueness and suggests mechanisms for taking account of this within spatial information systems. The theory of supervaluation semantics is explained and applied to the spatial domain and to particular problems of defining geographical concepts such as "forest".
