Question

A key characteristic of object-oriented database models in GIS is their ability to:

• A. Only store spatial data efficiently.
• B. Represent both spatial and non-spatial data as objects with associated attributes and behaviors (methods).
• C. Organize data in a strictly hierarchical structure.
• D. Primarily handle raster data.

Hint:

Object-oriented models store both data and behaviors, ideal for complex spatial entities.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Object-oriented databases in GIS can represent real-world features as objects that encapsulate both spatial and non-spatial data along with their behavior (methods). This allows better modeling of complex relationships and functionalities within GIS.
