| NOTAS: | "The geographic information system (GIS) is a hot computer system enabling geographers, cartographers, and environmental scientists, the ability to capture, model, manipulate, retrieve, analyze, and present referenced data. Worboys (computer science, U. of Keele) incrementally provides basic to advanced information on GIS database, spatial concepts, algorithmic representations, structures, architectures, interfaces, and "next-generation" systems. A special section applies this background to the CINEMA database scheme, supplying both SQL and object-oriented standards." |
