Geographic Information Systems
In a cooperation with the Institute of Applied Geodesy, branch office Leipzig, we investigate how the ATKIS (Authoritative Topographic-Cartographic Information System) data model can be implemented. ATKIS is a standard for the modeling of landscapes within digital landscape maps and the modeling of map content within digital maps. Objects in landscapes are described using the ATKIS Object Class Catalogue (ATKIS-OK) while map objects are described using the ATKIS Symbol Catalogue (ATKIS-SK). One study focussed on a co-existence approach between the commercial GIS ARCINFO and a relational DBMS. This is being compared with an integrated model based on an object-oriented DBMS. Of special interest is support of temporal aspects in order to handle different versions of cartographic information in a flexible way.
