摘要: This paper describes a means for linking field and object representations of geographical space. The approach is based on series mappings, where locations in continuous are mapped to discrete objects. An this context modeler's conceptualization, as viewshed, highway corridor or biological reserve. can be represented point, line, polygon, network, other complex spatial type. relationship between objects may take the form one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, many-to-many. We present typology fields discuss issues their construction, storage, analysis. Example applications presented directions further research offered.
