Abstract: Broad boundary is generally used to replace one-dimensional boundary for spatial objects with vague shape. For regions with broad boundary, this concept should respect both connectedness and closeness conditions. Therefore, some real configurations, like regions with partially broad boundary (e.g. lake with rocky and swamp banks), are considered invalid. This paper aims to represent different levels of shape vagueness and consider them during the identification of topological relations. Then, an object with vague shape is composed by two crisp components: a minimal extent and a maximal extent. Topological relations are identified by applying the 9-Intersection model for the subrelations between the minimal and maximal extents of objects involved. Four subrelations are then represented through a 4-Intersection matrix used to classify the topological relations. For regions with broad boundary, 242 relations are distinguished and classified into 40 clusters. This approach supports an adverbial expression of integrity constraints and spatial queries.

OCL for formal modelling of topological constraints involving regions with broad boundaries
TL;DR: An extension of Spatial OCL is proposed based on a geometric model for objects with vague shapes, and an adverbial approach for modelling topological constraints involving regions with broad boundaries, which provides an easiness in the formal modelling of these complex constraints.

The Spatial Disaggregation Problem: Simulating Reasoning Using a Fuzzy Inference System
TL;DR: The approach presented in this contribution uses additionally available data ( proxy data) that provides information on the geographic distribution of the input data that does not provide for a straightforward solution and inquires some form of reasoning.

TL;DR: This paper proposes the VSCube conceptual model, based on the cube metaphor, to represent and manipulate shape vagueness in spatial data warehouses, allowing the analysis of business scores related to vague spatial data, and therefore improving the decision-making process.

Point-set topological spatial relations
TL;DR: A novel theory of topological spatial relations between sets is developed in which the relations are defined in terms of the intersections of the boundaries and interiors of two sets, and it is shown that these relations correspond to some of the standard set theoretical andTopological spatial Relations between sets such as equality, disjointness and containment in the interior.
