Spatial Data Topology in GIS Database

Abstract:

Topology and its various benefits and functionality are fairly well understood within the context of 2D Geographical Information Systems. We summarize the principle of common 2D topology and the implementation of GIS databases. Existing topological frameworks and data models as a staring point to guide the review process, three key areas were studied for the purposes of requirements identification, namely existing 2D topological systems. However requirements in 3D have yet to be defined, with factors such as lack of familiarity with the potential of such functionality of 3D systems impeding this process. In this paper, we identify and review the requirements for topology in three-dimensional (3D) applications. Requirements for topological functionality in 3D were then grouped and categorized.
