Principles of spatial database analysis and design

This chapter covers the fundamentals of spatial database analysis and design, It begins by defining the most important concepts: ‘spatial database’, ‘analysis’, ‘design’, and ‘model’; and continues with a presentation of the rationale supporting the use of formal methods for analysis and design. The basic elements and approaches of such methods are described, in addition to the processes used. Emphasis is placed on the particularities of spatial databases and the improvements needed for non-spatial methods and tools in order to enhance their efficiency. Finally, the chapter presents a set of tools, called CASE (computer-assisted software engineering), which are built to support the formal analysis and design methods.
