<abstract>
<p>A huge amount of information, including geographic, environmental, socio-economic, personal and social network information, has
been generated from diverse sources. Most of this information exists separately and is disorderly even if some of it is about the same
person, feature, phenomenon or event. Users generally need to collect related information from different sources and then utilize
them in applications. An automatic mechanism, therefore, for establishing a connection between potentially-related information will
profoundly expand the usefulness of this huge body of information. A connection tie is semantic location describing semantically
concepts and attributes of locations as well as relationships between locations, since 80% of information contains some kind of
geographic reference but not all of geographic reference has explicit geographic coordinates. Semantic location is an orthogonal
form of location representation which can be represented as domain ontology or UML format. Semantic location associates various
kinds of information about a same object to provide timely information services according to users’ demands, habits, preferences and
applications. Based on this idea, a Pan-Information Location Map (PILM) is proposed as a new-style 4D map to associates semantic
location-based information dynamically to organize and consolidate the locality and characteristics of corresponding features and
events, and delivers on-demand information with a User-Adaptive Smart Display (UASD).</p>
