ABSTRACT:
Techniques are disclosed for adapting point geometry for storing address density information. Preferred embodiments store this density information in a 4-dimensional point data type provided by a spatially-enabled object relational database system, and leverage built-in functions and data types of the database system for operating on the data type. The address density may be computed while processing address data which is presented in textual format, or alternatively, from street geometry data which has been derived from such address data. The address density may be used in many different applications, such as e-business, targeted advertising, urban planning, facilities enhancements, and so forth. The point geometry representation of the street density information supports retrievals which do not rely on proprietary file formats or binary files, thereby enabling faster retrievals and reduced resource consumption requirements.
