Towards Topological Consistency and Similarity of Multiresolution Geographical Maps Alberto Belussi, Barbara Catania, and Paola Podestà   View Paper (PDF)   Return to Session 7: Data Modeling - Performance Evaluation Abstract Several application contexts require the ability to use together and compare different geographic datasets (maps) concerning the same or overlapping areas. This is for example the case of mediator systems, integrating distinct data sources for query processing, and GISs dealing with multi-resolution maps. In both cases, distinct maps may represent the same geographic feature with different geometry type (a road can be a region in one map and a line in another one). An important issue is therefor ... ©2006 Association for Computing Machinery
