Processing of geometric information is a major concern in applications          such as computer-aided design of mechanical parts, computer-aided               process planning, computer-aided manufacturing, and programming of              industrial robots.  Existing geometric models consist of rigid data             structures of record-oriented databases with static relationships that          often reflect a prime concern for efficient graphic rendering.  This            approach to geometric modeling restricts users to inadequate means of           expressing and manipulating geometric concepts.  A new approach is              developed which will apply deductive reasoning for processing of                geometric information at an abstract level within a geometric database.         This database needs an object-oriented semantic data model tailored for         geometric reasoning.  The objective of this research is to develop a            prototype geometric database with adequate reasoning capability and to          study the fundamental concepts that must be incorporated in such a              database to allow automatic inference of geometric properties.  Logic           programming and semantic data modeling techniques will be used for              representation and manipulation of geometric information.
