چکیده
This paper outlines the principle features of a Ph.D. programme of work. Section one describes the aims of the research. Section two looks at the nature of digital maps and their importance in the broader context of geographic information. Section three looks at the two major aspects of the research. Section four discusses the role of category theory in the research. Finally the conclusion is presented in section five.

Developing a BIM-based Spatial Ontology for Semantic Querying of 3D Property Information
With the growing dominance of complex and multi-level urban structures, current cadastral systems, which are often developed based on 2D representations, are not capable of providing unambiguous spatial information about urban properties. Therefore, the concept of 3D cadastre is proposed to support 3D digital representation of land and properties and facilitate the communication of legal owners...
متن کاملA Spatio-Temporal Query Language for a data model based on XML
The recent emergence of eXtensible Markup Languge (XML) as a new standard for data representation and exchange on the World-Wide Web has drawn considerable attention in the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) world. OCG (OpenGIS Consortium) is contributing with a XML specification to the representation of geographic information (called GML Geographical Markup Language). GML allows the exchange...
متن کاملGeneric query tool for spatio-temporal data
Geographical information systems are more and more based on a DBMS with spatial extensions, which is also the case for the system described in this paper. The design and implementation of a generic geographical query tool, a platform for querying multiple spatio-temporal data sets and associated thematic data, is presented. The system is designed to be generic, that is without one speci c appl...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal Database Connection to VRML
Despite the number of proposals for processing 2D spatial data, the areas of 3D modelling and querying are quite empty. Moreover, only few attempts appear towards incorporating the temporal and the 3D spatial domains. At the same time the vast growth of Internet and WWW has set a new domain for applications. One of the most promising Web-browser plug-ins is VRML, a format for displaying 3D grap...
متن کاملConceptual Modeling for Federated GIS over the Web
A conceptual model provides the best support for federating heterogeneous datastores into a unified framework and elaborating a global consistent description of all available data. It therefore plays a central role for exchange of information within the coming information society. This paper introduces a conceptual model for applications using spatio-temporal data. We discuss in particular the ...
