Spatiotemporal data is not always precise, and fuzziness in spatiotemporal data is usually accepted because of the way the world is measured and represented. Although eXtensible Markup Language (XML) recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has become the de-facto standard for data representation and exchange on the Web, an edited collection of fuzzy spatiotemporal XML data management studies is still scarce. This book studies fuzzy XML approaches for spatiotemporal data manageme...

This book offers in-depth insights into the rapidly growing topic of technologies and approaches to modeling fuzzy spatiotemporal data with XML. The topics covered include representation of fuzzy spatiotemporal XML data, topological relationship determination for fuzzy spatiotemporal XML data, mapping between the fuzzy spatiotemporal relational database model and fuzzy spatiotemporal XML data model, and consistencies in fuzzy spatiotemporal XML data updating. Offering a comprehensive guide...
