Abstract

The rapid growth in the amount of spatial data available in Geographical Information Systems has given rise to substantial demand of data mining tools which can help uncover interesting spatial patterns. We advocate the relational mining approach to spatial domains, due to both various forms of spatial correlation which characterize these domains and the need to handle spatial relationships in a systematic way. We present some major achievements in this research direction and point out some open problems.
