內容描述

Spatial Databases covers all of the major
themes of the field -- representation,  query languages,
computational geometry, spatial indexing -- using geographic
 information systems as the principal application domain
and motivation. It will make  an excellent introduction
for computer science professionals and students interested
 in exploring GIS, or for GIS professionals interested
in learning more about the  computer science foundations
of the field. The book is also an excellent guide to the  literature, with comprehensive bibliographic notes at the end of each chapter.
  -- Michael F. Goodchild

  Spatial Databases is the first unified and
in-depth treatment of special techniques  for dealing
with spatial data. Organized to focus on the specific features of spatial
 data that are not adequately handled by mainstream DBMS
technology, this book  surveys the various low-level
techniques developed to address these problems,  including spatial data models, algorithms, scales, and indexing methods, and
takes  an in-depth look at today's most prominent GIS
products.
