Space Program Language (SPL/SQL) for the Relational Approach of the Spatial Databases

TL;DR

This paper introduces a unified grammar for designing spatial databases that integrates nominal and spatial data within a relational framework, facilitating the development of complex spatial information systems.

Contribution

It presents a novel grammar that combines relational and spatial data models, enabling the creation of integrated spatial database tools.

Findings

Unified grammar effectively models spatial and nominal data

Supports development of GIS, CAD, and hypermedia systems

Enhances the relational approach for spatial databases

Abstract

In this project we are presenting a grammar which unify the design and development of spatial databases. In order to make it, we combine nominal and spatial information, the former is represented by the relational model and latter by a modification of the same model. The modification lets to represent spatial data structures (as Quadtrees, Octrees, etc.) in a integrated way. This grammar is important because with it we can create tools to build systems that combine spatial-nominal characteristics such as Geographical Information Systems (GIS), Hypermedia Systems, Computed Aided Design Systems (CAD), and so on
