Abstract :
Geographic information systems are becoming more important in decision and analysis processes. It is useful to retrieve all GIS data sets that are related to a given geographic theme. At present there are no known methods for implicitly linking data sets so that all related sets are returned for a given spatial query. A new method is being developed that employs fuzzy logic and a geometric glyph that can be applied to the automatic linking and retrieval of spatially related data sets in a query.
