Towards a Spatial Query Language: User Interface Considerations
Summary: Advocates a spatial query language and an interface blending maps with lexical queries, addressing SQL-like limitations for spatial data. Emphasizes direct manipulation, object-level references on maps, and tunable visuals as central to spatial querying. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
