Slicing Geospace

• Subdividing interior space is even worse

  • Floors and suites of office buildings
  • Dilbert cubicles
  • Equipment closets
  • ìJoanís officeî
  • Relative descriptions

    • ìJust down the hall from the water fountainî
    • ìAbove and to the right of the bookshelfî

• We employ an extremely rich vocabulary for describing interior space

• Many different kinds of maps

  • They exist for a reason

• Any single geospatial namespace is inadequate
