The topological model for spatial objects identifies common boundaries between regions, explicitly storing adjacency relations, which not only improves the efficiency of topology-related queries, but also provides advantages such as avoiding data duplication and facilitating data consistency. Recently, a compact representation of the topological model based on planar graph embeddings was proposed. In this article, we provide an elegant generalization of such a representation to support hierarchies of vector objects, which better fits the multi-granular nature of spatial data, such as the political and administrative partition of a country. This representation adds a small space on top of the succinct base representation of each granularity, while efficiently answering new topology-related queries between objects not necessarily at the same level of granularity.
