Modeling indoor space

This paper begins by reviewing the motivation for an informatics of indoor space. It then discusses application domains and consider why current geospatial technology, with its focus on outdoor space, needs to be extended. We review existing formal models of indoor space, along with their applications, and introduce a new model that is the subject of the author's current research. We conclude with some observations about the development of a unified model of both indoor and outdoor space.
