Abstract
The DASDBS Geokernel as an extensible database for GIS is introduced. The system is embedded in two larger research projects “Digital Geoscientific Maps” and the database research project DASDBS. The main requirements and concepts of database systems for GIS are discussed. Then the realization of the more performance oriented concepts within the DASDBS Geokernel are explained. These are mainly the support for complex objects and the extensibility of geometrical data types and spatial access methods.
Keywords
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
