RCC*-9 and CBM*
TL;DR: A new logical calculus of the Region Connection Calculus (RCC) family, RCC*-9 is an extension of RCC-8 and models topological relations between multi-type geometric features and is a calculus that goes beyond the modeling of regions, being able to deal with lower dimensional features embedded in a given space.

Spatial Data on the Web
TL;DR: Models for Representing Spatial Semistructured, Multiresolution, and Multiscale Data and Secure Outsourcing of Geographical Data Over the Web: Techniques and Architectures.
Book ChapterDOI
Ontology and spatial planning
TL;DR: This model is an extension of the 9-intersection model used for the topological relationship among geographical objects and deals with uncertainty in spatial data taking into account ill defined aspects, based on the definitions of inner and broad boundaries.
Dissertation
Qualitative topological relationships for objects with possibly vague shapes : implications on the specification of topological integrity constraints in transactional spatial databases and in spatial data warehouses
TL;DR: Cette approche est moins fine que d'autres approches concurrentes (modelisation par sous-ensembles flous ou modelisation probabiliste).

Metaphors We Live By
George Lakoff,Mark Johnson +1 more
TL;DR: Lakoff and Johnson as mentioned in this paper suggest that these basic metaphors not only affect the way we communicate ideas, but actually structure our perceptions and understandings from the beginning, and they offer an intriguing and surprising guide to some of the most common metaphors and what they can tell us about the human mind.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metaphors We Live by
TL;DR: Lakoff and Johnson as discussed by the authors present a very attractive book for linguists to read, which is written in a direct and accessible style; while it introduces and uses a number of new terms, for the most part it is free of jargon.
Journal Article
Maintaining knowledge about temporal intervals
TL;DR: An interval-based temporal logic is introduced, together with a computationally effective reasoning algorithm based on constraint propagation, which is notable in offering a delicate balance between space and time.

The Theory of Parsing, Translation, and Compiling

TL;DR: It is the hope that the algorithms and concepts presented in this book will survive the next generation of computers and programming languages, and that at least some of them will be applicable to fields other than compiler writing.
