Spatial databases - with applications to GIS
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction This book presents methods for spatial data modeling, algorithms, access methods, and query processing. The main focus is on extending DBMS technology to accommodate spatial data. The book also includes spatial methods used in Geographic Information Systems (GISs). Historically, GISs developed separately from Database systems. GISs are specialized in all aspects of spatial data handling including spatial editing, re-projecting coordinate systems, and map display. However, their query abilities generally are limited or require low-level programming. Contrary to GIS software is the approach to include spatial data in DBMSs using ADTs and extensibility.

متن کاملConcept and Realization of Federated Spatial Database
Geographic information systems manage a large volume of spatial data. We often use it to solve some problems such as urban planning and land use management. Interoperability of GIS is the ability to access spatial data and associated services in a distributed and heterogeneous processing environment. There are many existing spatial databases and GIS applications that are built on those database...
متن کاملRepresentation of a 3-d City Model in Spatial Object-relational Databases
Three-dimensional city models become more and more important in many GIS applications. Examples are, apart from simple visualization, city and land use planning as well as telecommunication planning and disaster management. Currently, there are no 3-D GIS available, which are suitable for these applications. For managing large spatial data sets in an efficient and sustainable way, spatial datab...

متن کاملUpdating of a Geographic Database: an Application and Design of a Geographic Information System
The creation of a GIS database can cost more than the GIS hardware and software itself. Although it takes several years to create, the information used in the databases of GIS represents the status of the world instantly. GIS databases must appropriately be organized and constantly be updated to make better use. In this study, methods were investigated with regard to updating of GIS databases t...
