Abstract
In this paper, we address the objects’ fusion issue, in the context of a spatial data integration system. The issue consists in (1) identifying the “same” geographic objects coming from different data sources and, (2) joining their information in order to obtain one unified object with its complete information. We describe a query processing technique, based on space Partitioning, that allows reducing the objects fusion costs. The goal is to avoid useless join operations between objects that belong to different regions.
