%0 Report %D 2003 %T Linking GIS and reserve selection algorithms: Towards a geospatial data model %A Stoms, D. M. %K conservation planning %K data model %K object-oriented %K reserve selection %X Most reserve selection algorithms used in research or conservation practice are only loosely coupled with geographic information system technology. This paper argues that formalizing a core geospatial data model would benefit algorithm developers, researchers, and practitioners through standardized data management and ease of database development with any reserve selection algorithm. %I Biogeography Lab, Bren School of Environmental Science and Management, University of California Santa Barbara %P 37 %8 2003 %G eng %U http://www.biogeog.ucsb.edu/pubs/Technical%20Reports/Reserve_Selection_Data_Model.pdf
