Object-oriented GIS technology and mine geo-dynamic division information management
Xuefeng Xu · 2005
Object-oriented methodology was expected to revolutionize GIS design and development, making it easier and faster to design, through a common approach to conceptual modelling, database design, programming languages and user interface tools. In addition, an object-oriented model provides some useful tools for data abstraction and data structuring, which augment the conventional tools and overcome some deficiencies inherent to the traditional relational model. The principles of object-oriented modelling applied to geographic data were put forward, and the concepts of object-oriented paradigm and characteristics of spatial data management were proposed in order to argument their compatibility.
