Multidimensional Geographic Information Science (Hardcover, Reissue)

The way people normally view a GIS is 2-dimensional, a greatly limiting form. However, as developments occur within the field, researchers and practitioners are finding ways to make a GIS 3-dimensional, and in some instances even 4-dimensional. Being able to view a GIS in more than 2 dimensions greatly enhances its usability.
This forward-looking text, looks at the ways in which 3- and 4-dimensional (multidimensional) GIS can be incorporated into the area in the future using a variety of programming techniques. The author of this unique book also discusses current examples and uses of multidimensional GIS in the field and shows the way forward for users in the coming years.
Key Features:
* No other book is solely devoted to this area of GIS
* Geography is an inherently spatial subject by nature, so the next logical step for GIS is to become multidimensional
* The author writes about the subject in a way that ensures readers easily grasp the concepts about which he is writing
