I have performed this research part-time at the section GIS Technology of TU Delft in cooperation with the Kadaster (the Dutch Cadastre), in order to get the Master of Science degree in Geodetic Engineering. Typing the last words for this thesis, I have been realizing more than ever that this thesis marks the end of my time as a student at the TU Delft. However, I also realize that I have been working to this point with joy. Many people are “responsible” for this, but I’d like to mention the people who have contributed most. First of all, there are of course people who were directly involved in the research project. Peter van Oosterom had many critical notes and - maybe even more important - the ideas born out of his enthusiasm improved the entire research.

Abstract phamhuu@jacobs-university. Multi-dimensional arrays (also known as raster data or gridded data) play a key role in de Large-Scale Scientifc many, if not all science and engineering domains where they typically represent spatio- Information Systems temporal sensor, image, simulation output, or statistics “datacubes”. As classic database Research Group, Jacobs technology does not support arrays adequately, such data today are maintained University, Bremen, Germany mostly in silo solutions, with architectures that tend to erode and not keep up with the increasing requirements on performance and service quality. Array Database systems attempt to close this gap by providing declarative query support for fexible ad-hoc analytics on large n-D arrays, similar to what SQL ofers on set-oriented data, XQuery on hierarchical data, and SPARQL and CIPHER on graph data. Today, Petascale Array Database installations exist, employing massive parallelism and distributed processing. Hence, questions arise about technology and standards available, usability, and overall maturity. Several papers have compared models and formalisms, and benchmarks have been undertaken as well, typically comparing two systems against each other. While each of these represent valuable research to the best of our knowledge there is no comprehensive survey combining model, query language, architecture, and practical usability, and performance aspects. The size of this comparison diferentiates our study as well with 19 systems compared, four benchmarked to an extent and depth clearly exceeding previous papers in the feld; for example, subsetting tests were designed in a way that systems cannot be tuned to specifcally these queries.

  • GIS Glossary (PDF)
    GIS Glossary A AAT Arc attribute table. A table containing attributes for arc coverage features. In addition to user-defined attributes, the AAT contains the from and to nodes, the left and right polygons, the length, an internal sequence number and a feature identifier. See also feature attribute table. ACCESS directory The system directory that LIBRARIAN uses to store the files that manage access to the library. Each library has an ACCESS directory located in the library's DATABASE directory. accessibility An aggregate measure of how reachable locations are from a given location. The ACCESSIBILITY command computes values for accessibility as a function of the distance between locations and an empirically derived distance decay parameter. access rights The privileges accorded a user for reading, writing, deleting, updating and executing files on a disk. Access rights are stated as `no access', `read only' and `read/write'. ACODE file An INFO data file storing arc attributes for coverages created from TIGER, DIME, IGDS and Etak files. ACODE stands for `Arc CODE'. The ACODE file is related by Cover-ID to the Arc Attribute Table (AAT) of the coverage. address matching A mechanism for relating two files using address as the relate item. Geographic coordinates and attributes can be transferred from one address to the other. For example, a data file containing student addresses can be matched to a street coverage that contains addresses creating a point coverage of where the students live. ADS 1. Arc Digitizing System. A simple digitizing and editing system used to add arcs and label points to a coverage.
