Abstract. We consider quantifier-free spatial logics, designed for qualitative spatial representation and reasoning in AI, and extend them with the means to represent topological c...

We investigate (quantifier-free) spatial constraint languages with equality, contact and connectedness predicates, as well as Boolean operations on regions, interpreted over low-...

This paper presents a survey of topological spatial logics, taking as its point of departure the interpretation of the modal logic S4 due to McKinsey and Tarski. We consider the ef...

In the constraint database community, FO+poly and FO+linear have been proposed as foundations for spatial database query languages. One of the strengths of this approach is that t...
For data to be successfully integrated, semantically similar database elements must be identified as candidates for merging. However, there may be significant differences between ...
