A Rule-Based Approach to Cadastral Mapping Using An Object- Oriented Geographic Information System

杜克教授将研究 面向对象的计算机语言来捕获、存储和 操纵关于空间关系的信息， 映射的功能，具体应用到地籍映射。 他 试图开发一种语言， 固有的法律的描述和调查测量，也 制定一个基于规则的系统，解决 相邻地块的法律的描述和测量。 这项研究是朝着创建基于规则的 专家系统，这将有助于建设和维护 地理信息系统中的地籍信息。 其 更广泛的影响涉及空间关系的基本理论 以及专家系统在GIS问题中的应用。

Professor Dueker will investigate the application of object-oriented computer languages to the capture, storage, and manipulation of information regarding spatial relationships among mapped features, with specific applications to cadastral mapping. He seeks to develop a language that will capture the spatial structure inherent in legal descriptions and survey measurements, and also to develop a rule-based system that would resolve conflicts found in legal descriptions and surveys of adjacent land parcels. This research is a step toward the creation of a rule-based expert system that will assist in the construction and maintanance of cadastral information in geographic information systems (GIS). Its broader implications touch on the basic theory of spatial relations and on expert systems applications to GIS problems.
