                         modelling and processing geographical entities. We propose a 
                         general definition of geographical objects, and show that the 
                         different types of geographical data can be expressed as 
                         particular cases of this definition. Furthermore, we present a 
                         taxonomy for the various types of GIS operations, defined in terms 
                         of the properties of this definition. Our goal is to argue that 
                         GIS data types and operations can be defined based on a single 
                         formal notion, which encapsulates the GIS concepts of both fields 
                         and objects, with important consequences for system and interface 
                         design, interoperabilty issues and language proposal.",
