yep so it is all still tables, and they contain abstractions like lines and vectors, its nothing new over a tuple over maybe worsening the generality of general data structures, or improving computational efficiency.
Then you get some functions to join it all together into new perspectives
This was all done on gnu guix with postgres, postGIS and the visualisation software
It is for dealing with 2 and 3d data in a database, so one can create views upon data that are calculated by use of geometric functions for example
Sounds interesting! So everything we see in these pictures has been calculated from spacial information taken from a “regular” relational database?
