topi.link - A graph-based topologyfor vague geographical relations
Data modelling in relational structures is a major part in geodesist's geodata modelling life. We use PostGIS databases, GeoServer applications using OGC standards, to share interoperable and open geodata via the World Wide Web. In addition, new modelling technologies allow NoSQL modelling, lik...
