6, we conclude our work. 2 Related Work In this section, we investigate related work concerning places and settings, image segmentation, and OpenStreetMap. 1 Places and Settings The concept of place plays an increasingly important role in GIScience (Winter et al. 2009; Winter and Truelove 2013) and the ontological discussion about how to model it is ongoing (Couclelis 1992; Humayun and Schwering 2012; Jones et al. 2001; Vasardani et al. 2013; Winter and Truelove 2013). Many suggest that the semantics of the term Place is tightly bound to the idea of affordance and activities (Jordan et al.

The orange bars show the number of pages linking to each other within the bin, while the gray bars are weighted by the number of references: For example, let place A and B be 300 m apart, and the page for place A links to the page for place B 3 times, and contains 2 more mentions. This would result in a single count in 270 À 324 m bin for the unweighted bars (orange), and in 5 counts for the weighted bars (gray). , places closer to each other link to each other more often, and they also mention each other more often in the text.
