Large spatial databases are characterised by two main features: the large set of spatial objects of different shapes to be stored, and the inordinate number of spatial relationships (of different types) between those objects. These features impose a substantial burden on storage overheads and system performance which necessitates an efficient mechanism to represent such relations in spatial queries. The aim of this research work is to design and implement a system for the representation of and reasoning over different types of spatial relationships between objects of arbitrary complexity.
