arc-node topologyThe topological data structure ARC/INFO uses to represent connectivity between arcs and nodes.
arc-node topology
The data structure in a coverage used to represent linear features and polygon boundaries and to support analysis functions, such as network tracing. Nodes represent the beginning and ending vertices of each arc.
The arc-node topology data model is central to many ArcGIS vector operations. Arcs are represented with starting and ending nodes, which imparts directionality to the arcs.

[ESRI software] In geodatabases, the arrangement that constrains how point, line, and polygon features share geometry.
Arcs are topologically linked to nodes (arc-node topology) and to polygons (polygon-arc topology). The descriptive attributes of arcs are stored in the arc attribute table (AAT). See also node.
