 Allan, Jo, fellow geodes,

If you find the above sites are uselful :,  you may also find something 
interesting at these sites

<http://www.spatial.maine.edu/%7Emax/max3.html>

focused on

    * Geographic Database Systems
      <http://www.spatial.maine.edu/%7Emax/GDB.html>
    * Spatial Reasoning <http://www.spatial.maine.edu/%7Emax/SR.html>

Currently funded research projects include 

    * Toward the Semantic Geospatial Web
