A Naive Theory of Dimension for Qualitative Spatial Relations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an ontology consisting of a theory of spatial dimension and a theory of dimension-independent mereological and topological relations in space. Though both are fairly weak axiomatizations, their interplay suffices to define various mereotopological relations and to make any necessary dimension constraints explicit. We show that models of the INCH Calculus and the Region-Connection Calculus (RCC) can be obtained from extensions of the proposed ontology.

متن کاملInvestigating the effect of family structure changes on houses\' spatial organization using grounded theory: A case study of the houses of Yazd
During the Pahlavi era, Iran's widespread developments influenced by the industrial revolution led to a lot of changes in family structure and by changing the function of family and the roles and relations of family members, paved the way for a change in the houses' spatial organization. Therefore, the main question addressed in this study is: “"What changes are brought about in the space organ...
متن کاملQualitative Directions in Egocentric and Allocentric Spatial Reference Frames
In this paper, we have presented a formalism for representation of and reasoning about directions in a qualitative way in two spatial reference frames, namely, an egocentric reference frame and an allocentric reference frame. Qualitative direction has been separated from dimensionality of spatial objects and as such, the formalism may be used to represent qualitative direction in a dimension-in...
متن کاملمدلسازی روابط توپولوژیک سه بعدی فازی در محیط GIS
Nowadays, geospatial information systems (GIS) are widely used to solve different spatial problems based on various types of fundamental data: spatial, temporal, attribute and topological relations. Topological relations are the most important part of GIS which distinguish it from the other kinds of information technologies. One of the important mechanisms for representing topological relations...
متن کاملRanks of modules relative to a torsion theory
Relative to a hereditary torsion theory $tau$ we introduce a dimension for a module $M$, called {em $tau$-rank of} $M$, which coincides with the reduced rank of $M$ whenever $tau$ is the Goldie torsion theory. It is shown that the $tau$-rank of $M$ is measured by the length of certain decompositions of the $tau$-injective hull of $M$. Moreover, some relations between the $tau$-rank of $M$ and c...
