Abstract
During the last years ontology-based applications have been thought without taking in account their limitations in terms of upgradeability. In parallel, new capabilities such as topological sorting of instances with spatial characteristics have been developed. Both facts may lead to a collapse in the operational capacity of this kind of applications. This paper presents an ontology-centric architecture to solve the topological relationships between spatial objects automatically. The capability for automatic assertion is given by an object model based on geometries. The object model seeks to prioritize the optimization using a dynamic data structure of spatial data. The ultimate goal of this architecture is the automatic storage of the spatial relationships without a noticeable loss of efficiency.
