Abstract
The applicability of the Object-Oriented (OO) approach to Geographic Information Systems (GISs) is analyzed. In software engineering, the OO approach as a design model, has been proven to produce quality software. It appears that GISs might also benefit from the OO approach. However, a GIS also imposes special ( e.g., spatial) requirements, inclusion of which in the OO model has to be investigated. The proposed solution tries to meet these special requirements by incorporating two data structures: the R-tree and the Binary Line Generalization (BLG) tree. The latter is a novel data structure introduced in this document.
