Abstract

The central part of any geographical information system (GIS) is a spatial data base. It holds all the objects, their attributes, and relationships. With this concept it can be viewed as a digital model of reality. Conventional database architectures do not provide data types and tools for spatial data; therefore, alternative models and methods are needed. This paper introduces the basic ideas and fundamental problems of spatial databases and discusses the various approaches taken.
