A grid-based spatial index has the advantage that the structure of the index can be created first, and data added on an ongoing basis without requiring any change to the index structure; indeed, if a common grid is used by disparate data collecting and indexing activities, such indices can easily be merged from a variety of sources.
R-trees are tree data structures used for spatial access methods, i.e., for indexing multi-dimensional information such as geographical coordinates, rectangles or polygons. The R-tree was proposed by Antonin Guttman in 1984 [ 2 ] and has found significant use in both theoretical and applied contexts. [ 3 ]
A spatial index is used by a spatial database to optimize spatial queries.Database systems use indices to quickly look up values by sorting data values in a linear (e.g. alphabetical) order; however, this way of indexing data is not optimal for spatial queries in two- or three-dimensional space.

.qix — an alternative quadtree spatial index used by MapServer and GDAL/OGR software {content-type: x-gis/x-shapefile} In each of the .shp , .shx , and .dbf files, the shapes in each file correspond to each other in sequence (i.e., the first record in the .shp file corresponds to the first record in the .shx and .dbf files, etc.).

The ID is usually used as spatial index (such as internal Quadtree or k-d tree), but is also possible to transform ID into a human-readable label for geocoding applications. Modern databases (e.g. using S2 grid) use also multiple representations for the same data, offering both, a grid (or cell region) based in the Geoid and a grid-based in the ...
An index of species in a given geographic region, where over time additional species may be introduced or existing species migrate or die out. Historical tracking of plate tectonic activity. Spatiotemporal databases are an extension of spatial databases and temporal databases .
