Formalising bio-spatial knowledge
Anthony G. Cohn · 2001
There is now a growing literature on qualitative spatial representations covering many aspects of spatial representation including mereology, topology, orientation and distance. In this paper I will briefly outline some of these approaches to qualitative spatial representation and then apply these theories to the task of formalising a non-trivial domain: that of representing cell structure. The paper is thus a contribution to the evaluation of qualitative spatial representations and spatial ontologies and may form the basis of a bio-informatic information system.
