TY - BOOK AU - Caluwe, Rita De TI - Spatio-temporal Databases : Flexible Querying And Reasoning Authors:rita De Caluwe, Guy De Tré, Gloria Bordogna SN - 9783540222149 U1 - 005.74 PY - 2004/// CY - Berlin PB - Springer KW - Data Mining KW - Database management N2 - Spatio-Temporal Databases" explores recent trends in flexible querying and reasoning about time- and space-related information in databases. It shows how flexible querying enhances standard querying expressiveness in many different ways, with the aim of facilitating extraction of relevant data and information. Flexible spatial and temporal reasoning denotes qualitative reasoning about dynamic changes in the spatial domain, characterized by imprecision or uncertainty (or both). Many of the contributions focus on GIS, some others are more general, or focus on related application fields, presenting theoretical viewpoints and techniques that are inspiring or can be adapted for GIS ER -
