| Abstract: |
The book provides a comprehensive overview of the technologies for designing and developing Spatial Databases (SDs), as well as their integration with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). It examines the fundamental operational characteristics and challenges in developing SDs. Information is provided regarding standards and techniques for modelling and representing spatial data, focusing on representations in the form of vectors, raster structures, or tables. It emphasises international standards, open spatial data, and the importance of conceptual linkage and topological relationships in spatial data. The book outlines methodologies for designing both relational and non-relational SDs, utilising diagrams, indexing techniques (such as B+ trees, R trees), and code examples. The tools and languages covered include PostgreSQL, PostGIS, MongoDB, and Neo4j, supporting practical applications in creating, storing, and analysing spatial data. Additionally, the book explores technologies for processing and visualising spatial data in web environments through their integration with SDs. GIS management applications (e.g., QGIS, GeoServer) and the development of web-based spatial data management applications are addressed. Guidance is provided for spatial data analysis with Python and R by presenting analysis algorithms and techniques, adapted to both relational and non-relational SDs. Finally, a comparative review of core spatial database management technologies is included. Through this approach, the reader gains a broad understanding of modern techniques and tools for the development, processing, and utilisation of SDs.
