GML空间数据地存储索引机制研究.pdf

Abstract Geographic Markup Language is an eneoding specification which is established by the OpenGIS and based on XML for the geographic information. It is vendor-neutral and platforms-neutral. It provides a unified framework for the modeling ，transport and storage of geographic information including both the spatial and non-spatial properties of geographic features. Its appearance offers nice solutions for the sharing and interoperation of spatial data，and mean while ，it also breaks a new path for the development of WebGIS. GML is an XML encoding for spatial data, so it has the characters such a text-based ，extensible ，self-description and expressing the complicated data mode in the nested way，and it is also massive ，complexity and un-orderable like the spatial data. Presently，GML has been the international standard for the encoding and exchange of spatial data.With the massive GML spatial data unceasing emergence， it brings us new challenges:how to effectually manage and manipulate these GML format data and how to build first-rate index mechanism to efficiently retrieve the GML doeument with larger data. Integrating the technology of db4o database engine and Traditional spatial database，this paper delves into the object-oriented storage and index mechanism of GML spatial data. The main research contents of this paper as follows: (1) Firstly，the characteristics of the spatial data in the GML specification，the GML schema and the modeling rules of the GML spatial data are analyzed ，and then utilizing the open-source， new generation XML parser VTD- XML,one new GML parsing solution is designed,it is capable of parsing GML Schema and GML document. (2) the primary storage patterns of the current XML data and the object-oriented spatial data model are analyz
