Abstract

This work addresses cooperative environments for geographic databases that help users achieve their goals. The nature of geographic data, as well as the requirements for an interface to geographic databases, are first discussed. Then, the components of a rule-based cooperative environment for conventional databases are described. The core of the paper analyzes cooperativeness with respect to geographic data, separately considering query processing and the graphical display of query results.
