Abstract
Computer models of spatial phenomena mostly use Digital Relief Models (DRM) (morphometric characteristics, drainage situation, etc.) to represent the earth’s surface and its properties. The definition of the term digital model of relief is currently inconsistent both in Czech and in foreign professional literature (e.g. Šíma 2002; Voženílek 2001; Klingseisen 2004; Longley et al. 2001; Wood 1996; Dikau 1989). Burrough & McDonnell (1998) offer an apt definition; for them it is any type of representation of the earth’s surface continuously changing in space.
