The paper introduces a query tool which allows users (either database experts or non-specialist users) to visually formulate and execute spatial queries directed to large federal ...
The location-aware keyword query returns ranked objects that are near a query location and that have textual descriptions that match query keywords. This query occurs inherently i...
The paper investigates the use of topological annotations (called topological invariants) to answer topological queries in spatial databases. The focus is on the translation of to...
Given a set of points P and a query point q, the reverse furthest neighbor (RFN) query fetches the set of points p P such that q is their furthest neighbor among all points in P {...
Assessing spatial scenes for similarity is difficult from a cognitive and computational perspective. Solutions to spatial-scene similarity assessments are sensible only if corresp...
