Abstract

Spatial networks find application in the areas of transportation GIS, network analysis, city planning and others. To effectively use them, it is essential to store spatial networks inside database systems. This paper shows how a user would conceptually view and make use of spatial networks in a database. The discussion has been based on a spatial network data type called snet which can store the geometry and the semantics of a network as a single object.
