Abstract

Geographical Information Systems and spatial database systems are well able to handle crisp spatial objects, i.e., objects in space whose location, extent, shape, and boundary are precisely known. However, this does not hold for fuzzy spatial objects characterized by vague boundaries and/or interiors. In the same way as fuzzy spatial objects are vague, the topological relationships (e.g., overlap, inside) between them are vague too. In this conceptual paper, we propose a novel model to formally define fuzzy topological relationships for fuzzy regions. For their definition we consider the numeric measure of coverage degree and map it to linguistic terms that can be embedded into spatial queries.
