Lecture

Spatial relations and topology

Description

This lecture introduces the concept of spatial relations and topology in Geographic Information Systems, focusing on describing the global spatial relations of entities beyond their individual form and position. It covers the main forms of topological relations, including adjacency, connectivity, and inclusion. The notion of topology is explored through qualitative spatial properties that are invariant under continuous deformation, emphasizing the importance of topological consistency in spatial analysis.
