- A sketch of a neighbourhood, town or city provides one means of characterising a person’s understanding or ‘mental map’ of the space. Such understanding is important when evaluating the space in terms of navigability, environment, etc. This paper uses the ontological framework provided by BFO to systematise how such maps may be generated, represented and characterised. As such, it is the first such formal framework, and provides sketch map experts with a principled template. Wang was a postdoctoral researcher in the group headed by Worboys. Wang used her background in spatial cognition in combination with Worboys’ ontological and formal expertise.
