Environmental databases store a wide variety of data from heterogeneous sources which are described with domain-specific terminologies and refer to distinct locations. In order to ...
Two new spatial join operations, distance join and distance semijoin, are introduced where the join output is ordered by the distance betweenthe spatialattribute values ofthe join...
The paper presentsa method for terminological reasoningabout spatial objects on the basis of a KL-ONE-like framework (LOOM). We apply this method to the domain of deductive geograp...
: We present a spatial model of group interaction in virtual environments. The model aims to provide flexible and natural support for managing conversations among large groups gath...
We discuss the tensions between intensionality and extensionality of spatial observations in distributed systems, showing that there are natural models where extensional observati...
