L1-Spatial Concepts
Do we always need coordinates to answer spatial queries?

![Page 10: L1-Spatial Concepts NGEN06 & TEK230: Algorithms in Geographical Information Systems by: Irene Rangel, updated 2015-11-02 by Sadegh Jamali 1](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f730/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
L1-Spatial Concepts
We are not always relying on coordinates (or the
Euclidean space) in GIS; by storing set-based,
topological and graph-based data explicitly (without
using coordinates) we can answer many spatial queries
without considering coordinates.
10
But how storing explicitly?

L1-Spatial Concepts
Topological queries
Topology is derived from the Greek and means the science of position.
Topological Space:
A set and a number of subsets (which follow certain rules)
14
![Page 15: L1-Spatial Concepts NGEN06 & TEK230: Algorithms in Geographical Information Systems by: Irene Rangel, updated 2015-11-02 by Sadegh Jamali 1](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f730/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
L1-Spatial Concepts
Topological Relationships?
Using a rubber sheet (where all points, lines and areas are drawn), topological
relationships are the properties that remain between the points, lines and areas for all possible kinds of deformation of the rubber sheet (except tearing). <- Rubber sheet transformation
Examples:
Point is inside a polygonTwo lines intersect
Not a topological relationship: an object is close to another (spatial relationship) 15

L1-Spatial Concepts
Topological transformation
1) There should be one-to-one correspondence between the elements in the original and transformed set (bijection).
2) Two points that are ”connected” in the original set should also be ”connected” in the transformed set.

L1-Spatial Concepts
Other models of topological relationships
• 9-intersection model (DE-9IM)
The 4-intersection model is actually not that suitable for expressing topological relationships between line and/or point objects.
DE-9IM was proposed to be an international standard by the International Standard Organization –ISO19125-1.
Defines topological relationships using interior, exterior and boundary of objects.

L1-Spatial Concepts
Graph-based queries
• Also called network queries• They consider distances • Shortest (fastest) route is a typical example.
24
![Page 25: L1-Spatial Concepts NGEN06 & TEK230: Algorithms in Geographical Information Systems by: Irene Rangel, updated 2015-11-02 by Sadegh Jamali 1](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f730/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
L1-Spatial Concepts
Graph-based queries
Traveling time between airports.
The points (A, B, ... , H) are airports (i.e. elements in the set airports).
The edges denote that there are flight routes between the airports.
25
![Page 26: L1-Spatial Concepts NGEN06 & TEK230: Algorithms in Geographical Information Systems by: Irene Rangel, updated 2015-11-02 by Sadegh Jamali 1](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f730/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
L1-Spatial Concepts
Graph-based and metric queries
• In a graph-based query there is no restriction on the distances between the elements in the set.
• Metric query is a sub-set of a graph-based query that set constraints on the distances-> they must obey the rules of a metric.
26
![Page 27: L1-Spatial Concepts NGEN06 & TEK230: Algorithms in Geographical Information Systems by: Irene Rangel, updated 2015-11-02 by Sadegh Jamali 1](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f730/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
L1-Spatial Concepts
Metric query
A metric (d) is a distance measure between two elements in a set.
The metric has to obey the 3 following rules (where p,q, and r are elements in the set, d=metric):
1. d(p,q)>=0, d(p,q)=0 p=q
2. d(p,q)=d(q,p) (symmetry)
3. d(p,q)<=d(p,r)+d(r,q) (triangle inequality)

L1-Spatial Concepts
Metric query
There are an infinite number of metrics.
Two of the most common metrics (in R2) in GIS are:
1) Euclidean distance:
2) Manhattan distance: d(p,q)= |xp- xq| + |yp- yq|

L1-Spatial Concepts
Data structures to store graph-based data explicitly
• Graphs can be stored as matrixes.
• Sparse graphs are normally stored in adjacency list (Sedgewick, 2002 ).

L1-Spatial Concepts
Euclidean queries
What is the distance between a building and a road?
-> Require coordinates to be stored.

![Page 31: L1-Spatial Concepts NGEN06 & TEK230: Algorithms in Geographical Information Systems by: Irene Rangel, updated 2015-11-02 by Sadegh Jamali 1](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f730/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
L1-Spatial Concepts
Storing relationships or deriving in real time?
• In some cases the relationships can be derived from stored coordinate data.– Traveling distance (but not traveling time)
Storing relationships explicitly:– Advantages:
• It saves processing time • Could enhance the quality of the answer
– Disadvantages:• It takes more space in memory• It entails redundancy (storing same information twice)
31
![Page 32: L1-Spatial Concepts NGEN06 & TEK230: Algorithms in Geographical Information Systems by: Irene Rangel, updated 2015-11-02 by Sadegh Jamali 1](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f730/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
L1-Spatial Concepts
Storing relationships or deriving in real time?
A few things you should consider before you decide what relationships should be stored explicitly:
– What type of queries will the database serve? – How will the database be maintained?– Will the database be connected to other databases?– …
