Abstract :
This paper presents a proposal to create a graph representation for GIS, using both spatial and non-spatial data and also including spatial relations between spatial objects. Because graphs are a powerful and flexible knowledge representation we are able to combine spatial and non-spatial data at the same time and this is one of the strengths of the proposal. We hope to apply this knowledge representation to the data mining process with GIS data including three types of spatial relations: topological, orientation and distance.
