Abstract
Within the knowledge society, for planning smart cities and smart territories, theoretical background of information technologies must be renovated with the support of knowledge technologies and especially geographic knowledge engineering. Indeed, geographic knowledge engineering, as city or territory infrastructure, by including multidisciplinary knowledge and citizen involvement, allows not only spatial reasoning but also evaluating various scenarios and alternatives for territorial intelligence governance. Will be overall detailled modeling of geographic onjects, relations and rules together gazetteers with geographic ontologies and urban structures.
