A Reactive Data Structure for Geographic Information Systems
We introduce a Reactive Data Structure, that is a spatial data structure with detail levels. The two properties, spatial organization and detail levels, are the basis for a Geographic Information System with a multi-scale database. A reactive data structure is a novel type of data structure cartering to S It is presented here as a modification of the binary space partioning tree that includes d...
متن کاملEntity-relationship Modeling of Spatial Data for Geographic Information Systems
This article presents an extension to the basic Entity-Relationship (E-R) database modeling approach for use in designing geographic databases. This extension handles the standard spatial objects found in geographic information systems, multiple representations of the spatial objects, temporal representations, and the traditional coordinate and topological attributes associated with spatial obj...
متن کاملAccuracy of Spatial Data Used In Geographic Information Systems
ABsTRA.cr: Geographic Inforrna.~on Systems (GIS) are concerned with the collection, management, display, and analysis of spatial data. In order to utilIze GIS, one needs to have appropriate hardware, software, and trained personnel. Howev.er, the cost of this portion of an automation project is small compared to that of data collection, which is very exper:slve. Moreover, the accuracy and quali...
متن کاملGeographic Information Systems and Parallel Processing of Spatial Data
With the enormous amount of data available for geographic spatial analysis, parallel processing enhances the capabilities for processing large amounts of data and intensive computer bound algorithms. The author examines data structures, load balancing, data partitioning, algorithms, and performance for Geographic Information/Imaging Systems. The R-tree data structure and Triangulated Irregular ...
متن کاملSpatial Data Modeling: Issues and Implications on Geographic Information Systems
Even though the potential ability of Geographic Information System (GIS) as decision support for business activities has been widely recognized, the topic of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has received little attention in the business literature. Spatial database systems provide the underlying database technology for Geographic Information Systems and other applications. Modeling spatial ...
