Indexing a Discrete Global Grid

Categorization and Conversions for Indexing Methods of Discrete Global Grid Systems

Digital Earth frameworks provide a tool to receive, send and interact with large location-based data sets, organized usually according to Discrete Global Grid Systems (DGGS). In DGGS, an indexing method is used to assign a unique index to each cell of a global grid and the data sets corresponding to these cells are retrieved or allocated using this unique index. There exist many methods to inde...

A pole-oriented discrete global grid system: Quaternary quadrangle mesh

In addition to providing services for mid and low latitudes, global Geographic Information System (GIS) should provide services for high latitudes; these services include climate monitoring, energy exploitation in the polar regions. An improved Discrete Global Grid System (DGGS) could serve as a foundation for efficient indexing, visualization and analysis of the ever-expanding global spatial d...

A DHT-Based Grid Resource Indexing and Discovery Scheme

This paper presents a DHT-based grid resource indexing and discovery (DGRID) approach. With DGRID, resource-information data is stored on its own administrative domain and each domain, represented by an index server, is virtualized to several nodes (virtual servers) subjected to the number of resource types it has. Then, all nodes are arranged as a structured overlay network or distributed hash...
