ISPRS Logo     ISPRS - Commission II - Theory and Concepts of Spatial Information Science
    Working Group II / 5 - Multidimensional and mobile data models, 2008-2012
  
 

 

Our mission:

The purpose of this working group is to address the dynamic and multi-dimensional aspects of geospatial information. Spatial data changes over time and space. Current GIS were developed for two-dimensional static data display and management: they neither provide the necessary tools to simulate the dynamics of spatial objects nor allow representation of the interaction between them. Simulation of the real world requires movement and interaction, and often the third dimension. The long-term objective of this working group is to develop new spatial data models and data structures that allow a better representation of the real world within GIS, with a special focus on the representations that are both dynamic and multi-dimensional. This will result in the geographical information systems that have dynamic data structures, support a greater interactivity, and support three dimensional representations.

 

Terms of Reference:

  • Data modelling and computational algorithms for multidimensional GIS
  • Dynamic GIS and applications, such as for the marine environment
  • Methodology and algorithms for dynamic operations in GIS
  • Design and development of databases for dynamic and multi-dimensional GIS
  • Data models and methods for information representation for GIS on mobile devices
  • Collaborate with other communities, such as Location-based Services and computational geometry.

 
The 3D Topology group webpage was created. The group is part of ISPRS WG II/5.
