Storage of Spatial Data in Semantic Databases
Naphtali David Rishe, Qiang Li · 1994
Abstract This paper describes how the semantic binary database model [Rishe-92-DDS] and its implementation [Rishe-91-FS] are extended to represent spatial data: functions over multi-dimensional space, e.g. the ocean temperature as a function of the four-dimensional space-time. The implementation, utilizing extended linear quad-trees, is compact in storage and allows efficient resolution of queries.
