Ranking in spatial databases

1995
An algorithm for ranking spatial objects according to increasing distance from a query object is introduced and analyzed. The algorithm makes use of a hierarchical spatial data structure. The intended application area is a database environment, where the spatial data structure serves as an index.

dedale, a spatial constraint database

1998
This paper presents a first prototype of a constraint database for spatial information, dedale. Implemented on top of the O2 DBMS, data is stored in an object-oriented framework, with spatial data represented using linear constraints over a dense domain. The query language is the standard OQL, with special functions for constraint solving and geometric

Spatial Databases

2017
Spatial databases maintain space information which is appropriate for applications where there is need to monitor the position of an object or event over space. Spatial databases describe the fundamental representation of the object of a dataset that comes from spatial or geographic entities.

A spatial database as a component of integrated database system

Proceedings 1999 International Symposium on Database Applications in Non-Traditional Environments (DANTE'99) (Cat. No.PR00496), 2003
Huge amounts of spatial data have been accumulated by government agencies and other organizations for various kinds of applications, such as land information management, asset and facility management, resource management, and environment management. These data are typically collected, stored and used by different custodians for very specific purposes ...

Spatial Databases

2007
Spatial database research has continued to advance greatly since three decades ago, addressing the growing data management and analysis needs of spatial applications. This research has produced a taxonomy of models for space, conceptual models, spatial query languages and query processing, spatial file organization and indexes, and spatial data mining.

Keyword Search on Spatial Databases

2008 IEEE 24th International Conference on Data Engineering, 2008
Many applications require finding objects closest to a specified location that contains a set of keywords. For example, online yellow pages allow users to specify an address and a set of keywords. In return, the user obtains a list of businesses whose description contains these keywords, ordered by their distance from the specified address.

Navigation of the Internet with spatial databases

Proceedings 1999 International Symposium on Database Applications in Non-Traditional Environments (DANTE'99) (Cat. No.PR00496), 2003
Most Internet search engines are keyword based. They are not efficient for the queries where geographical location is important, such as finding hotels close to a place of interest. A natural interface for spatial searching is a map, which can be used not only to display locations of search results but also to assist forming search conditions.

Communicating uncertainty in spatial databases

Transactions in GIS, 1996
As applications of spatial databases become more sophisticated and diverse, an issue of growing concern is the inability to communicate to users the uncertainty of products derived from their systems. This is important not only because users should be able to compare the quality of database outputs against the quality requirements of their tasks (in ...

Spatial Indexing for Video Databases

Journal of Visual Communication and Image Representation, 1996
Abstract Spatial reasoning techniques based on 2D string systems have been successfully applied to indexing pictorial databases. We demonstrate how similar techniques may be extended to represent video sequences, and how this representation may be compressed. Query schemes for both single frame queries, and full subsequence queries are presented. The
