Uncertainty Issues in GIS and Spatial Databases
F. Petry
Geographic Information Systems(GIS) is the rather general
term for a number of approaches to the management of
carteographic information. At the heart of a GIS is a
spatial database. The issue of spatial database accuracy has been
viewed as critical to sucessful utilization of GIS. Users of
GIS technology must be able to assess and deal with inherent
uncertainty involved in the spatial approximations in a GIS.
The objective of this presentation is to first provide a basic
understanding of GIS and spatial databases. Then the major
uncertainty issues in dealing with spatial data will be
reviewed and fuzzy set approaches that have been developed
to manage these isssues will be described.
