Abstract: Structure et type de données visant à améliorer les bases de données en ce qui concerne le stockage et la manipulation de données spatiales multidimensionelles dans une base de données ainsi que l'accès à ces données. Un code binaire hélicoïdal hyperspatial (CODE HH) est employé afin de représenter des données de N dimensions, la structure de données de type CODE HH binaire maintenant l'organisation dimensionnelle de données multidimensionnelles à l'intérieur même de ces données. Les données spatiales sont stockées grâce à un code BH (code binaire hyperspatial) qui est conçu comme un dérivé de structure en arborescence à N niveaux à l'aide de la décomposition par récurrence. Une zone physiquement neutralisée définit la limite maximale du volume de données pouvant être stockées dans une partition quelle qu'elle soit. Dès que le volume des données stockées dans une partition dépasse la limite fixée par la zone physiquement neutralisée, les données sont décomposées en partitions filles de manière à ce qu'aucun stockage de données en partitions ne dépasse ladite limite. Si la limite fixée par la zone physiquement neutralisée est dépassée, des partitions filles supplémentaires sont automatiquement générées et le tableau mère n'est plus conservé. Cette invention concerne également une structure de données représentant les tableaux découpés et les valeurs de code BH. Des attributs pertinents sont associés à chacunes des valeurs de code BH, ces attributs pouvant représenter des données non spatiales telles que la température, la salinité ou le flux de rayonnement cosmique. Cette invention prévoit également une méthode et un appareil pour l'application aux segments de lignes et à la topologie des avantages que présente le code HH binaire.
