3. Spatial Data Model

导读:本章描述的是整个GIS理论中最为核心的内容。 为了能够利用信息系统工具来描述现实世界,并解决其中的问题,必须对现实世界进行建模。 对于地理信息系统而言,其结果就是空间数据模型。 空间数据模型可以分为三种:

  • Field model: It is used to describe the phenomenon of continuous distribution in space;

  • Element model: It is used to describe various spatial objects;

  • Network model: It can simulate all kinds of networks in the real world;

Among these models, some related concepts are introduced, such as spatial partition, spatial relations, and the formal description of topological relations - 9 intersection model。

Finally, it describes the expansion of general two-dimensional data model in space and time, time data model and three-dimensional data model。

值得注意的是,本章谈到的场模型和要素模型类同于后面提及的栅格数据和矢量数据,但是前者是概念模型; 后者是指其在信息系统中的实现。

最近几年来,地理信息系统无论是在理论上还是应用上都处在一个飞速发展的阶段。 GIS被应用于多个领域的建模和决策支持,如城市管理、区划、环境整治等等,地理信息成为信息时代重要的组成部分之一; “数字地球”概念的提出,更进一步推动了作为其技术支撑的GIS的发展。 与此同时,一些学者致力于相关的理论研究,如空间感知、空间数据误差、空间关系的形式化等等。 这恰好说明了地理信息系统作为应用技术和学科的两个方面,并且这两个方面构成了相互促进的发展过程。
