Abstract

In this contribution, a depictional approach for the representation and processing of spatial knowledge was presented. The approach is based on the concept of the quasi-analog representation medium cell matrices. A neighbor cell relation is defined on the cell set of a cell matrix, which the further concepts are then based upon. That is why all facts coded in this representation format are, with respect to the neighbor cell relation, represented in an analog format. Using this approach, it is possible to represent sketch-like spatial knowledge by means of depictions. This knowledge can be processed with the aid of the processes of imagination and inspection. Due to a lack of space, these types of processes were only briefly discussed in this contribution. This holds also for the strategies of problem solving of such a depictional representation system which may achieve more adequate results by taking advantage of the depictional representation. The interaction of the prepositional and the depictional component of an entire system of representation and processing of spatial knowledge has not been elaborated here. This subject is discussed in Pribbenow (1990).
