Gquery : a Query Language for Gml
نویسندگان
چکیده
XML has established itself as the standard for representing data in scientific and business applications, leading to several dialects and tools for XML data processing. In this paper we are interested in querying geographic data encoded in GML, the Geography Markup Language adopted by the OpenGIS consortium (OGC) for the description, transmission and storage of geographic data. Although it is anticipated that GML will appeal to a large class of GIS users, OGC did not recommend a specific language for querying GML data. On the other hand, the database community, in both the academia and the industry, has been very pro-active in the design and implementation of XQuery, a query language for XML. In this paper, we present our XQuery based approach and system for querying

XQuery as a Spatial Query Language
In this paper, we investigate the use of XQuery to retrieve geographic data represented in GML. The proposed approach is aimed at overcoming the limitations of the earlier proposed GML query languages, and is able to handle any GML data. We start with an analysis to show why among various kinds of XML and non-XML query languages we choose XQuery as a fundamental query language for querying GML ...
متن کاملIntegration of Spatial XML Documents with RDF
The fact that GML is an XML encoding allows it to be queried. In order to query a GML document we have designed a query language over GML/XML enriched with spatial operators. This query language has an underlying data model and algebra that supplies the semantics of the query language. In this paper, we propose an approach for integrating Geospatial data on the Web, stored in GML documents, usi...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Query Language for GML based on XPath
Geography Markup Language (GML) has been established as the standard language for the transport, storage and modelling of geographic information. In this paper we study how to adapt the XPath query language to GML documents. With this aim, we have defined a semantic based XPath language which is not based on the (tree-based) syntactic structure of GML documents, instead it is based on the “sema...
متن کاملA Pressing Need
As a database format, XML (GML by extension) can be queried. In order to do this, we need a query language (of general use) to retrieve information from an XML document. Nevertheless, it is necessary to enrich the query language over XML features with spatial operators if we wish to apply it over spatial data encoded with GML. Otherwise, these query languages could only be used to query alphanu...
متن کاملXPath for Querying GML-Based Representation of Urban Maps
Geography Markup Language (GML) has been established as the standard language for the transport, storage and modelling of geographic information. In this paper we study how to adapt the XPath query language to GML documents. With this aim, we have defined a XPath based query language which handles the “semantic structure” of GML. Our approach focuses on querying urban maps whose representation ...
