Title
An Object-Oriented Model of Maps
Abstract
Paper maps because of being easy to understand and interpret, have been the most popular medium for representing geographic data. In recent years several studies have been conducted on the development of spatial database systems, however a formal definition of maps as hierarchies of spatial objects is still missing.The purpose of this paper is to introduce a model of map as close as possible to its concept in the real world. A logical system for formal manipulation of spatial objects is then introduced and operations on these objects are defined. Our system of spatial objects is originated however quite different from systems of Mereology1 [3].The concept of map as formally defined here enables us to model various aspects of the real world geography and implement adequate operations for answering a wide range of queries.
