A Unified Approach for Spatial Data Query

چکیده
With the rapid development in Geographic Information Systems (GISs) and their applications, more and more geo-graphical databases have been developed by different vendors. However, data integration and accessing is still a big problem for the development of GIS applications as no interoperability exists among different spatial databases. In this paper we propose a unified approach for spatial data query. The paper describes a framework for integrating information from repositories containing different vector data sets formats and repositories containing raster datasets. The presented approach converts different vector data formats into a single unified format (File Geo-Database “GDB”). In addition, we employ “metadata” to support a wide range of users’ queries to retrieve relevant geographic information from heterogeneous and distributed repositories. Such an employment enhances both query processing and performance.

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 Unified Algorithm for Continuous Monitoring of Spatial Queries
Continuous monitoring of spatial queries has gained significant research attention in the past few years. Although numerous algorithms have been proposed to solve specific queries, there does not exist a unified algorithm that solves a broad class of spatial queries. In this paper, we first define a versatile top-k query and show that various important spatial queries can be modeled to a versat...
متن کاملManaging Moving Objects in the Context of Streaming Spatio-Temporal Data
Managing moving objects in DSMS has recently been a focus of a relatively intense research. In this paper, we are concerned with data streams containing a location of a moving object at any time instant. Instead of using spatial and time instant data types separately, for representing spatio-temporal characteristics of data streams, we propose a unified approach based on specialized temporal da...
متن کاملA Unified Approach for Design of Lp Polynomial Algorithms
By summarizing Khachiyan's algorithm and Karmarkar's algorithm forlinear program (LP) a unified methodology for the design of polynomial-time algorithms for LP is presented in this paper. A key concept is the so-called extended binary search (EBS) algorithm introduced by the author. It is used as a unified model to analyze the complexities of the existing modem LP algorithms and possibly, help ...
