X-maps: An Efficient Model for Non-manifold Modeling

Abstract--Many representation schemes have been proposed to deal with non-manifold and mixed dimensionalities objects. A majority of those models are based on incidence graphs and although they provide efficient ways to query topological adjacencies, they suffer two major drawbacks: redundancy in the storage of topological entities and relationships, and the lack of a uniform representation of those entities that leads to the development of large sets of intricate topological operators.
