RE: [linking-data] Where do links commonly occur (in spatial data)?

Hi Jeremy
(I’m taking this to mean how are places conceptually associated with each other?)
In addition to spatial-temporal relationships that you could compute from the (2D) geometries:

Administrative/cultural relationships between places e.g capitals
Source data geometry link to interpolated/interpreted line/area/volume
Connectivity relationships – network distance, connectedness, line of sight
Dependency relationship where the geometry of one object defines part of another e.g. hydrographic features used to define administrative boundaries
Topological relations in 3rd dimension – e.g. pipeline is below a road, flightpath is over a city. i.e. geometries are disjoint but they overlap in the horizontal plane.
