Original Kurzfassung:
Systems supporting situation awareness typically integrate information
about a large number of real-world objects anchored in time and space provided
by multiple sources. These sources are often characterized by identical,
incomplete, and even contradictory information. Because of that, duplicate detection
methods are of paramount importance, allowing to explore whether or not
information concerns one and the same real-world object. Although many such
duplicate detection methods exist, a recent survey revealed that the characteristics
of situation awareness—highly dynamic and vague information, which is
often available in qualitative form only—are not supported sufficiently well. This
paper proposes concepts for qualitative duplicate detection to cope with these key
issues of situation awareness based on spatio-temporal relations between objects.
