ABSTRACT

Developing a database for human-oriented information system requires effective integration of various geographic information. In this context, this study discussed mainly two parts: 1) basic rules for data model and 2) the methods for an extensible database with temporality and ontology. The basic rules for data model of the integrated database included suggestions for data modeling, DB normalization, and data integrity. For temporal expansions of the integrated database, TimeStamp and TimeSPAN objects were proposed to manage temporal change of geographic information. To combine the GIS database with ontology, RDF object in a DBMS was suggested as an alternative to the XML-based RDF structure for effective maintenance of DBMS and ontology. The methods suggested in this paper would provide fundamentals to build large databases that require frequent update.
