 Does anyone know if there has been work on GIS Data Models besides any

Martin Davies (of JTS fame) recently had a blog post on this at
http://lin-ear-th-inking.blogspot.com/2007/11/bible-of-spatial-indexing.html.
I've got The Design and Analysis of Spatial Data Structures  out of
the library at work and am slowly working my way through it. I've
already learned a bunch of stuff about point quadtrees and I'm only up
to chapter two, so the the other two books Martin mentions may well
also be worth checking out.
