On the Equivalence of Topological Relations
- 1995
The 4-intersection, a model for binary topological relations, is based on the intersections of the boundaries and interiors of two point sets in a topological space, considering the content invariant (i.e., emptiness/non-emptiness) of the intersections. If the 4-intersections of two pairs of point sets have different contents, then their topological relations are different as well; however, the reverse cannot be stated as there may be different topological relations that map onto a...
