Title
Web-Enabling Geographic Data with Object-Relational Databases
Abstract
We show how geographic data sets that are available in a proprietrary file format only, can be web-enabled by using an object-relational database sys- tem. In particular we propose a database schema for official cartographic-topogra- phic (ATKIS) base data implemented in Oracle8i to store and manage such data sets in an object-structured way. We have implemented an import routine for such data into the database, and for inspection and selection purposes we have devel- oped a visualization tool for arbitrary spatial data residing in an object-relational database. In order to exchange cartographic-topographic data sets over the in- ternet, we introduce an XML-based document type definition along with some general rules on how to design DTDs for data strongly structured according to a database schema. Finally we describe how to generate files for data exchange according to the DTD. We claim that our techniques can be used as a reference pattern for similar tasks on other data formats or in other domains as well.
