Data types that represent geometric objects such as points, lines, and polygons, allowing for the modeling of spatial features in a database.	A type of database specifically designed to store and manage spatial data, which includes information about the position, shape, and relationship of objects in space.
A discipline that focuses on the development and design of land use and the built environment.	Queries that involve location-based conditions, enabling the retrieval of data based on spatial relationships and geographic criteria.
A network designed for the movement of people and goods, encompassing various modes of transport.	The process of systematically sampling the environment to analyze and track changes over time.
A depiction of connections or paths between points, represented as a sequence of coordinates, used for mapping linear features.	A specific location in a given space represented by a set of coordinates, such as latitude and longitude.

A method of representing spatial data through a grid of cells, where each cell holds a specific value representing a characteristic of the area it covers.	An enclosed shape that represents areas or surfaces, defined by a series of connected lines forming a closed loop.
The capability of a system to handle a growing amount of work or its potential to accommodate growth.	The individual unit in a raster model that holds a value corresponding to the attribute being represented.
Data that changes dynamically over time and has a geographical component, essential for applications like navigation and traffic monitoring.	A data storage approach where data is stored across multiple locations, enhancing access speed and reliability.
The process of combining data from different sources into a unified view.	Technologies designed to handle continuous flows of data in real-time, improving the management and analysis of rapidly changing information.

A point in the system where the performance is significantly limited or delayed.	The act of making data uniform to ensure consistency across different datasets.
	A data structure that enhances the performance of spatial queries by organizing spatial data in a way that supports efficient searching.
