Constraint Databases and Geographic Information Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Constraint databases and geographic information systems share many applications. However, constraint databases can go beyond geographic information systems in efficient spatial and spatiotemporal data handling methods and in advanced applications. This survey mainly describes ways that constraint databases go beyond geographic information systems. However, the survey points out that in some areas constraint databases can learn also from geographic information systems.

During the past 15 years the topic of constraint databases (CDB) [2, 3] has evolved into a mature area of computer science with sound mathematical foundations and with a profound theoretical understanding of the expressive power of a variety of query languages. Constraint databases are especially suited for applications in which possibly infinite sets of continuous data, which have a geometric ...

متن کاملHierarchical Constraint Satisfaction in Spatial Databases
Several content-based queries in spatial databases and geographic information systems (GISs) can be modelled and processed as constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). Regular CSP algorithms, however, work for main memory retrieval without utilizing indices to prune the search space. This paper shows how systematic and local search techniques can take advantage of the hierarchical decomposition ...
متن کاملMLPQ/GIS: A GIS using Linear Constraint Databases
This paper presents MLPQ/GIS, a GIS database system that allows powerful and easy querying via a graphical user interface. The internal data representation of MLPQ/GIS is based on linear constraint databases, which can describe geo-spatio-temporal data, allow eecient conjunctive query evaluation, and facilitate data integration and database interoperability.
متن کاملFrom Transactional Spatial Databases Integrity Constraints to Spatial Datacubes Integrity Constraints
Spatial multidimensional databases (also called "spatial datacubes") are the cornerstone of the emerging Spatial On-Line Analytical Processing technology (SOLAP). They are aimed at supporting Geographic Knowledge Discovery (GKD) as well as certain types of spatial decision-making. Although these technologies seem promising at first glance, they may provide unreliable results if one does not con...
