About Advanced Information Systems Laboratory (Universidad de Zaragoza)

The Advanced Information Systems Laboratory (IAAA) was founded in 1993, focused on the creation of technology and knowledge oriented towards the development of information systems capable of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. One of the problems found in the beginning was the need for information resources that could justify the need for new knowledge organization systems and new developments in AI. It is for this reason that in 1998 an approach to the world of geographic information systems was initiated. This problem domain offers interesting challenges due to the complexity, variety and size of its data. In addition to this, regulatory developments in the United States (1994) and in the EU (2007) ensured that geographic data owned by public administrations had to be publicly accessible. The geographic field is therefore one of the earliest cases, possibly the very first, in which the generalized release of large and complex data for reuse was promoted, well before the term “Open Data” became popular.
