I have read several research papers addressing the issue of storing geometric
data in the database system (not necessary relational model). The following
two might be helpful for you :

	1. An Analysis of Geometric Modeling in Database Systems
	   Alfons Kemper & Mechtild Wallrath
	   ACM Computing Surveys, Vol.19, No.1, March 1987

	2. Modeling and manipulating Objects in Geoscientific Databases
	   Udo W. Lipeck & Kari Neumann
	   Entity-Relationship Approach
	   S. Spaccapietra (Editor)
	   Elsevier Science Publishers B.V. (North-Holland)
	   @ ERI, 1987
