Chapter one gives an introduction to GIS together with supporting material on general computing. Chapters two and three offer background material on general databases and formalisms for spatial concepts. High level models of geospatial information, representations, algorithms and structures and access methods are examined in chapters four, five and six. The types of architectures and interfaces needed for GIS, spatial reassoning, theory and techniques are covered by chapters seven, eight and nine. Concludes with an exploration of temporal and spatiotemporal information systems. Includes a bibliography. | ||
