A current trend in the development of spatial-relation ontologies is to capture more and more details about the geometries of the spatial objects that are related, primarily by topological relations. In an effort to bridge between often disparate approaches, a reference system for topological relations between compound spatial objects is introduced. Its framework comprises the base relations’ conceptual neighborhood graphs, which, when nested, provide a means for visually analyzing the completeness and consistency of the set of derived relations.Read the full paper here: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-04947-7_37
