In order to deal with inconsistent databases, a repair semantics defines a set of admissible database instances that restore consistency, while staying close to the original insta...
In this paper we discuss two data models for spatial database systems: the linear data model and the topological data model. Both can be used to model a wide range of applications....
Abstract. This paper introduces a formalization of a set of spatial semantic integrity constraints on an extended-relational database model. The formalization extends traditional n...
For data to be successfully integrated, semantically similar database elements must be identified as candidates for merging. However, there may be significant differences between ...
The diversity of spatial information systems promotes the need to integrate heterogeneous spatial or geographic information systems (GIS) in a cooperative environment. This paper ...
