Spatial Query Processing in an Object-Oriented Database System

Summary: Unifies grid-based spatial data structures into a small set of constructs for object-oriented DBMSs, with standard structures derivable as special cases. Demonstrates range queries under OO-DBMS with minor changes; results show kd-tree-like performance. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
