Abstract
Spatial phenomena can be encountered in outdoor and indoor geography-related contexts: The description and analysis of indoor environments is an important factor as research on indoor geography has recently gained a certain momentum. To imbue a clear
understanding of indoor space, its definition is a crucial issue as the concept of indoor geography is heavily context-based. Therefore, ontologies have the capability to describe such a context-specific indoor space in a semantic manner. It is the aim of this work to
analyse the occurrence and the accessibility of different indoor spaces and their connection to the outdoor space. Therefore the paper highlights the possible connections between indoor and indoor space and the connections between outdoor and indoor space.
Specific attention is paid to indoor space connections and the fact that indoor spaces can be separated from each other. The analysis will result in models highlighting the connectivity of a common outdoor space and indoor space where the indoor space is connected to
another “nested” indoor space not accessible from outdoors. The consistent definition of the connection between different spaces is a basis for navigation or visualization applications in indoor production environments
