Abstract
Geoinformation systems (GIS) contain information about objects in geographic space; the focus on geographic space [1] determines the scale of spatial objects and processes of interest at a spatial resolution of approximatively 0.1 m to 40.000 km and to changes occurring once a minute to once a million years. Geographic information is a diverse field which includes many special applications, each of which has special requirements, with special kinds of geometry and particular geometric operations.
