Many aspects of spatial language concerned with relationships between spatial entities are essentially vague. Current GIS technology provides very little support for dealing with ...
The increasing power of modern computers steadily opens up new application domains for advanced data processing such as engineering and knowledge-based applications. To meet their...
This paper describes a rule-based algorithm to derive a relational schema from an extended entity-relationship model. Our work is based on an approach by Atzeni and Torlone in whic...
