Three-dimensional primitive objects for next generation of geo-database management system

A variety of issues and aspects need to be addressed and investigated during the evolutions of two - dimensional Geographical Information System (2D GIS) to three - dimensional Geographical Information System (3D GIS). Issues that need to be addressed are 3D spatial data modeling, 3D data management...
