Conceptual Modeling for Traditional and Spatiotemporal Applications

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (13019 ratings)

Description:Current practice in GISs does not support conceptual design methods. Therefore, applications requirements are usually expressed in the data model of the target GIS or DBMS, with geographic concepts reflecting their internal implementation techniques, and without explicit support for temporal aspects. This book presents MADS, a conceptual spatio-temporal data model with unique multi-representation features. MADS includes a formal definition of both the conceptual data model and its associated data manipulation language. MADS has been used for modelling many real-world applications. One of them, mountain risk management in the French Alps, is used throughout the book as a running example. This book is addressed to practitioners, graduate students, and researchers developing information systems in general. However, it focuses in particular on two topics: modelling of spatial and temporal information, and modeling of multiple perceptions and multiple representations. Therefore, this book is of particular interest to those developing spatial databases, temporal databases, spatio-temporal databases, Geographical Information Systems (GIS), as well as traditional applications having to cope with multiple perceptions. The book presents a conceptual approach for designing information systems, covering also their logical implementation. It addresses both data modelling as well as data manipulation issues.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
