An Efficient Approach based on Polygon Approximation to Query Spatial Data on Digital Archiving System

Archives

This research paper shows mathematical formulas that show the potential of a method known as "polygon approximation" that will allow for the digital query of digital archival systems to be improved upon to better their use. This methods improvements on the digital archiving system depends on what the focus is, because there will be drawbacks: if the polygon approximation improves the spatial query, then the precision of searches may be decreased. If the search precision is improved upon, then there wouldn't be as much spatial query. Through the use of diagrams and formulas, the source shows the reasons why the polygonal shape can help improve the way that we use digital archives, aiding in the search for methods to allow archives to be permanent and secure. How this method works all relies on the amount of sides that the polygon has in the formula, to where the more sides that the polygon has then the more efficient the spatial query would be, whereas the less sides that the polygon has results in the efficiency in the search precision. The decision made to best put this method to use would be to change the shape of the polygon according to the usage of the users, reflecting what would benefit them more in the moment.
