Overview
of VASA: A Vague Spatial Algebra |

Many
geographical applications deal with objects in space that cannot be
adequately described by determinate, crisp spatial concepts because of their
intrinsically indeterminate and vague nature. Geographical
information systems and spatial database systems are currently unable to cope
with this kind of data. But large volumes of vague spatial data require a
treatment in a database context for representing, querying, and manipulating
them efficiently. In this talk I will give an overview of VASA, a Vague Spatial
Algebra representing a formal data model aimed at supporting indeterminate
spatial data. |
