Claim 15:
16. A non-transient, computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by one or more processors to perform operations that include:
receiving, from an airport mapping database (“AMDB”), geospatial data representative of a plurality of geospatial objects of an airport taxi system, the plurality of geospatial objects including a first geospatial object and a second geospatial object, wherein first geospatial data is representative of the first geospatial object and second geospatial data is representative of the second geospatial object;
determining a routing relationship between the first geospatial object and the second geospatial object based at least on the first geospatial data and the second geospatial data, wherein the routing relationship indicates that an aircraft using the airport taxi system can pass from the first geospatial object to the second geospatial object;
generating spatial relationship data describing the routing relationship, wherein generating the spatial relationship data comprises generating data describing nodes or edges of a node-edge network;
adding the spatial relationship data to the geospatial data to generate updated geospatial data; and
storing the updated geospatial data at the AMDB.
