Cadastral “reform”—at what cost to developing countries?
This paper argues that the introduction of western cadastral concepts into communities with different land tenure systems have involved “cultural costs.” The paper discusses these cultural costs and concludes that cadastral ...
A data complexity formula for deriving time-to-build estimates from non-relational to relational databases
Despite the many qualitative elements of software time-to-build estimating, some observable features can be quantified; even if the resulting set of variables observed is arbitrary. Such is the case when estimating the ...
The derivation of thematic map layers from entity-relationship data models
Semantic data models comprise formally defined abstractions for representing real world relationships and aspects of the structure of real world phenomena so as to aid database design. While previous research in spatial ...
