| (documentation RCC8Relation EnglishLanguage "The RCC8Relation is intended to serve for qualitative spatial representation and reasoning. RCC abstractly describes regions (in Euclidean space, or in a topological space) by their possible relations to each other. RCC8 consists of 8 basic relations that are possible between two regions: disconnected (DC), externally connected (EC), equal (EQ), partially overlapping (PO), tangential proper part (TPP), tangential proper part inverse (TPPi), non-tangential proper part (NTPP), non-tangential proper part inverse (NTPPi). From these basic relations, combinations can be built, for spatial reasoning,for example via a composition table.[Wikipedia]") |
