Abstract
Lately, a need to integrate specialized data management systems such as geographic information systems (GIS), or multimedia systems has gained importance [6]. A large variety of different data sets are available in various specialized repositories, and users would like to access and manipulate these data sets in a uniform way. Additionally, it is desirable to make the specialized functionality provided by the individual repositories available to the user application through a homogeneous interface. At UCLA Data Mining Laboratory, we are developing geoPOM (geoscientific Persistent Object Manager), a heterogeneous geoscientific object system which provides a homogeneous interface to heterogeneous spatial data repositories [20]. geoPOM provides an object-oriented spatial data model for the definition of user-defined spatial object types. Internally, geoPOM maps user-defined spatial object types to different specialized spatial data repositories, and employs their storage, search and spat...
