A Scheme for Representation of Topological Relations between Two-Dimensional Spatial Objects in Geo-Information Systems
A vector-structure information scheme is presented for explicit representation of topological relations between spatial objects. In contrast with the traditional geological information systems
which mainly use geometrical coordinates to represent points
line segments
or polygonenclosed areas
the information concerning the topological relations
such as containment
bordering or crossing between geometrical objects
can be directly acquired in the proposed systems. Algorithms for operations on geological/geographical maps are also discussed.
