Systemic approach for spatio-temporal database structuration
M.H. de Sède, Alexandre Moine, P. Marceau · 1999
Territory characterization greatly lies in our capacity of synthesizing and analysing information collected and stored inside databases. However, these partially integrate the systemic nature of a multi-dimensional territory (spatial, temporal and thematic). This reality makes necessary new approaches able to take this complexity into account. Based on a systemic approach used in the MADS formalism, we propose a data structuring method that authorizes complex thematic spatio-temporal query formulation.
