Modeling Fuzzy Spatiotemporal Data With Xml

Description

This book offers in-depth insights into the rapidly growing topic of technologies and approaches to modeling fuzzy spatiotemporal data with XML. The topics covered include representation of fuzzy spatiotemporal XML data, topological relationship determination for fuzzy spatiotemporal XML data, mapping between the fuzzy spatiotemporal relational database model and fuzzy spatiotemporal XML data model, and consistencies in fuzzy spatiotemporal XML data updating. Offering a comprehensive guide to the latest research on fuzzy spatiotemporal XML data management, the book is intended to provide state-of-the-art information for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students of Web intelligence, as well as data and knowledge engineering professionals confronted with non-traditional applications that make the use of conventional approaches difficult or impossible.  Foreword Preface Contents 1 Spatiotemporal Data and Spatiotemporal Data Models 1.1 Introduction 1.2 Spatiotemporal Data 1.2.1 Concept of Spatiotemporal Data 1.2.2 Types and Process of Spatiotemporal Changes 1.3 Spatiotemporal Data Models 1.3.1 Raster-Based Spatiotemporal Data Model 1.3.2 Vector-Based Spatiotemporal Data Model 1.3.3 Time-Based Spatiotemporal Data Model 1.3.4 Object-Based Spatiotemporal Data Model 1.3.5 Analysis and Evaluation 1.4 Summary References 2 Fuzzy Sets and Fuzzy XML Data Models 2.1 Introduction 2.2 Fuzzy Sets and Possibility Theory 2.3 Fuzzy XML Data Models 2.3.1 Characteristics of XML 2.3.2 Fuzzy Data Representations and Classifications 2.3.3 Fuzzy Data in XML Documents 2.3.4 Fuzzy XML Schema 2.3.5 Fuzzy XML DTD 2.4 Summary References 3 Fuzzy Spatiotemporal Data Semantics 3.1 Introduction 3.2 Fuzzy Temporal Data and Their Relations 3.2.1 Representation of Fuzzy Temporal Relations 3.2.2 Correspondences Between Fuzzy Temporal Relations and Temporal Relations 3.2.3 Determination of Fuzzy Temporal Relations 3.3 Fuzzy Spatial Data and Their Relations 3.3.1 Preliminaries 3.3.2 Representation of Fuzzy Spatial Topological Relations 3.3.3 Correspondences Between Fuzzy Spatial Relations and Spatial Relations 3.3.4 Determination of Fuzzy Spatial Topological Relations 3.4 Fuzzy Spatiotemporal Data and Their Relations 3.4.1 Topological Relation Model 3.4.2 Extending Two-Dimensional Egg/Yolk Model to Three-Dimensional Space 3.4.3 Topological Complexity 3.4.4 Topological Distance 3.4.5 Neighborhood Relations and Conceptual Neighborhood Graph 3.5 Summary References 4 Fuzzy Spatiotemporal Data Modeling and Operations in XML 4.1 Introduction 4.2 Fuzzy XML Model of Spatiotemporal Data 4.2.1 Principles of Fuzzy Spatiotemporal Data Modeling 4.2.2 Fuzzy XML Spatiotemporal Data Model 4.2.3 Representation of Fuzzy Spatiotemporal Data in XML Document 4.3 Fuzzy Spatiotemporal XML Schema 4.4 Fuzzy Operations 4.4.1 Node Operations 4.4.2 Topological Operations 4.5 Application in Meteorological Events 4.6 Summary References 5 Determining Topological Relationship of Fuzzy Spatiotemporal Data in XML 5.1 Introduction 5.2 Spatiotemporal XML Twig Matching 5.2.1 Semantic Foundations of Fuzzy Spatiotemporal Data 5.2.2 Basic Notions of Determining Topological Relationship in XML 5.3 Transforming Two General Fuzzy Spatiotemporal Data Trees into One Binary Tree 5.3.1 Transforming General Fuzzy Spatiotemporal Data Tree into Binary Tree 5.3.2 Connecting Two Transformed Spatiotemporal Data Binary Trees 5.4 Matching Twig Pattern of Topological Relationship 5.4.1 Extended Region Coding Scheme 5.4.2 Matching Twigs 5.5 Summary References 6 Transformation of Fuzzy Spatiotemporal Data Between Relational Databases and XML 6.1 Introduction 6.2 Fuzzy Spatiotemporal Relational Data Model 6.3 Transformation of XML-to-Relational Fuzzy Spatiotemporal Data 6.4 Transformation of Relational-to-XML Fuzzy Spatiotemporal Data 6.5 Summary References 7 Querying Fuzzy Spatiotemporal Data Using XQuery 7.1 Introduction 7.2 The Architecture of Querying Fuzzy Spatiotemporal Data Using XQuery 7.3 Fuzzy XQuery 7.3.1 Truth Degrees 7.3.2 Fuzzy Spatiotemporal Linguistic Terms 7.3.3 FLWOR Expression 7.4 Query Processing 7.4.1 Examples 7.4.2 Evaluations 7.5 Comparative Study 7.6 Summary References 8 Consistencies in Fuzzy Spatiotemporal XML Updating 8.1 Introduction 8.2 Consistency of Fuzzy Spatiotemporal XML Documents 8.3 Consistency in Changing Operations 8.3.1 Correction of Inconsistencies in Updating Operation 8.3.2 Correction of Inconsistencies in Insertion Operation 8.3.3 Correction of Inconsistencies in Deletion Operation 8.3.4 Discussion 8.4 Experiments 8.4.1 Experimental Setup 8.4.2 Experimental Results 8.5 Summary References Index
