          Abstract: The talk is going to cover research on the development of a globally shared open
          spatial expert system(ES), LISENS, a first of a kind geo-enabled KBES for multiple fields,
          smarter cities to climate modelling. LISENS is integration of SW and SDI with domain KB on
          data and problems, ready to infer solutions. Semantic interoperability of SW, SDI spatio-semantic
          KBs with inferencing logics of geometry, topology management are critical aspects of work. The
          session will throw light on several well-known challenges in big data arena such as : i) how to
          build open source spatial ontologies for spatial phenomenon using causative factors ii) how to
          connect ontologies to intelligent inferencing logics iii) how to build specialized knowledge bases
          for a generalized spatial KBES iv) how to apply the system to automate procedures viz. urban and
          natural v) how to integrate sensor web(SW), other data sources and spatial data
          infrastructure(SDI) with open source technologies.
