Abstract
In this paper an application is presented for rule-based polygon classification based on geographic vector data. Early results from the evaluation by the Dutch Cadastre are given. From the experiments we conclude that a rule-based approach to interpretation of vector data leads to a speed-up of a factor 2 while maintaining a similar classification performance when compared with manual classification.
