Geographical Information System "meets" Environmental Data Management - Exemplified at practical projects

Abstract

But UML (Unified Modelling Language) and all UML-based data structures (among others the INSPIRE data specifications) define an object oriented data management. That means e.g.:  one real object is one information object;  all objects can have more and different geometries;  the geometry is to handle like an attribute;  the handling of generalisations and heredities;  the need to manage versioning and historiography.
