Abstract
There is now a growing literature on qualitative spatialrepresentations covering many aspects of spatial representationincluding mereology, topology, orientation and distance. In thispaper I will briefly outline some of these approaches toqualitative spatial representation and then apply these theories tothe task of formalising a non-trivial domain: that of representingcell structure. The paper is thus a contribution to the evaluationof qualitative spatial representations and spatial ontologies andmay form the basis of a bio-informatic information system.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
