Many collaborative and communicative environments use notions of "space" and spatial organisation to facilitate and structure interaction. We argue that a focus on spati...
We consider spatial databases that can be defined in terms of polynomial inequalities, and we are interested in monotonic transformations of spatial databases. We investigate a hi...
Abstract. Although maps and partitions are ubiquitous in geographical information systems and spatial databases, there is only little work investigating their foundations. We give ...
In the course of acquiring knowledge about layouts and maps spatial information can undergo considerable changes and distortions, which systematically affect knowledge-based judgme...
1 The number and the size of spatial databases, e.g. for geomarketing, traffic control or environmental studies, are rapidly growing which results in an increasing need for spatial...

Abstract: Currently, there are strong efforts to integrate spatial and temporal database technology into spatio-temporal database systems. This paper views the topic from a rather ...

There is an increasing need to integrate spatial index structures into commercial database management systems. In geographic information systems (GIS), huge amounts of information ...
The successful development of any geographic information system project needs the careful design and implementation of spatial databases via conceptual and logical data-modeling. T...
An important activity in the design of a particular database application consists in identifying the integrity constraints that must hold on the database, and that are used to det...

Spatial indexes, such as the PMR quadtree, are important in spatial databases for efficient execution of queries involving spatial constraints, especially when the queries involv...
