Sobrino and Wolfgang Kainz Received: 18 October 2016; Accepted: 5 January 2017; Published: 11 January 2017 Abstract: The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Geography Markup Language (GML) explicitly represents geographical spatial knowledge in text mode. All kinds of fuzzy problems will inevitably be encountered in spatial knowledge expression. Especially for those expressions in text mode, this fuzziness will be broader. Describing and representing fuzziness in GML seems necessary. Three kinds of fuzziness in GML can be found: element fuzziness, chain fuzziness, and attribute fuzziness. Both element fuzziness and chain fuzziness belong to the reflection of the fuzziness between GML elements and, then, the representation of chain fuzziness can be replaced by the representation of element fuzziness in GML. On the basis of vague soft set theory, two kinds of modeling, vague soft set GML Document Type Definition (DTD) modeling and vague soft set GML schema modeling, are proposed for fuzzy modeling in GML DTD and GML schema, respectively. Five elements or pairs, associated with vague soft sets, are introduced.

    2018 Habitat Build Trip Volunteer Manual Yangshuo Guangxi, China Welcome Message from Habitat for Humanity China Dear volunteer, Welcome to Habitat for Humanity China’s build in Yangshuo, Guangxi province. Many families in Guangxi live in dangerous, dilapidated houses made of mud-brick walls. The conditions of ventilation and sanitary systems are extremely primitive while the houses are also vulnerable against the rainstorm and floods that regularly strike this area. During your trip, you can witness the tangible rewards of your effort in changing lives. Most importantly, you will help build not just a house, but also a home with stability, dignity and hope for a brighter future. Let’s make a pledge here. As a young and energetic generation with enthusiasm and compassion, we are leaders of today, and will contribute our efforts to a better and more harmonious world. I wish you a safe and fruitful time in Guangxi, making our dream of “a world where everyone has a decent place to live” come true. Thank you! Michael Chen Program Lead, Habitat for Humanity China 1.Overview of Yangshuo Yangshuo is a well-known town in the southern part of Guilin, about one hour from Guilin city. Surrounded by amazing rock formations and bordered on one side by the Li River, it is easily accessible by bus or boat from nearby Guilin. Over the years, Yangshuo has been developed into a popular tourist destination with a relaxed friendly atmosphere, similar to areas in South East Asia. However, the beauty about Yangshuo is that within a few minutes you can find yourself in a rural village watching water buffalo take a midday bath and farmers drying their produce on the ground without a single tourist in sight.
