Abstract
The paper will introduce into the subject of recognition of typical patterns in road networks. Especially we will describe the search for ring structures and its implementation in detail. Applications to detect these patterns and to use them for eliciting additional implicit knowledge in vector data are shown. We will familiarise the reader with different methods and approaches for the automatic detection of those patterns in vector data. The retrieval of implicit information in vector data can be very helpful for many tasks, ranging from generalisation of maps to the spatial analysis and enrichment of GIS data to make it searchable by search engines.
