In this paper a visual approach to querying in large spatial databases is presented. A diagrammatic technique utilising a data flow metaphor is used to express different kinds of...

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....
We consider two-dimensional spatial databases defined in terms of polynomial inequalities and investigate the expressibility of the topological connectivity query for these databa...
We give an AC0 upper bound on the complexity of rst-oder queries over (in nite) databases de ned by restricted linear constraints. This result enables us to deduce the non-expressi...
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...
