Contiguity (information technology)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Contiguity describes the environment of an entity in which further identities are logically determined or z. B. be detected (discovered) by radio technology , the relationship being assigned a special metric .

In technical solutions, this relationship is often defined by a spatial distance, although the absolute coordinates of the entities are not significant. A method of technical support such relationship metric is as vague localization (Engl. "Fuzzy locating") refers. This approach is helpful to overcome the mental barriers and legal restrictions when using a people search or already using personal identifiers .

The basis for using a relationship between entities in contiguity is relational coordination after Jody Hoffer Gittell.
