Abstract

We propose new indexing techniques for interval data in K>=1 dimensions consisting of a set of extensions to a class of database indexing structures. These techniques are useful for improving index search performance for spatial data composed of multi-dimensional intervals that have nonuniform length distributions. Interval data collections having non-uniform length distributions are likely to occur in practice, and may be typical of historical data collections in which tuples represent intervals in the time dimension. We present these indexing techniques, illustrate how they may be applied to the R-Tree index, and provide the results of performance experiments.
