空间聚合:数据模型及其实现
Spatial Aggregation: Data Model and Implementation
摘要:
地理信息系统(GIS)中的数据聚合在当今的商业系统中仅少量存在,主要是通过临时解决方案。在本文中,我们首先提出了一个正式的模型表示空间数据。该模型将地理数据和GIS外部数据仓库中包含的信息集成在一起。我们定义的几何聚合的概念,在GIS设置聚合查询的一般框架。我们还确定了类的可求和查询,这可以有效地评估通过预先计算覆盖的两个或两个以上的主题层中涉及的查询。我们还勾画了一个语言,表示GISOLAP-QL,表达查询,涉及GIS和OLAP功能。此外,我们介绍了Piet,我们的建议的实现,利用覆盖预计算回答空间查询(聚合或不)。我们的实验评估表明,对于某一类几何查询有或没有聚集,覆盖预计算优于R-树为基础的技术。最后,作为我们的建议的一个特定的应用,我们研究拓扑查询。
英文摘要:
Data aggregation in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is only marginally present in commercial systems nowadays, mostly through ad-hoc solutions. In this paper, we first present a formal model for representing spatial data. This model integrates geographic data and information contained in data warehouses external to the GIS. We define the notion of geometric aggregation, a general framework for aggregate queries in a GIS setting. We also identify the class of summable queries, which can be efficiently evaluated by precomputing the overlay of two or more of the thematic layers involved in the query. We also sketch a language, denoted GISOLAP-QL, for expressing queries that involve GIS and OLAP features. In addition, we introduce Piet, an implementation of our proposal, that makes use of overlay precomputation for answering spatial queries (aggregate or not). Our experimental evaluation showed that for a certain class of geometric queries with or without aggregation, overlay precomputation outperforms R-tree-based techniques. Finally, as a particular application of our proposal, we study topological queries.
