The development of the Internet has changed the environment for
Geographical Information Systems (GIS), with the emphasis shifting
from analysis to the sharing of data and information over the
Internet thus making GIS more mobile and powerful. The Geography
Mark-Up Language (GML) was developed as the standard language and
is emerging as the foundation for Internet GIS. "Geography Mark-Up
Language: Foundation for the Geo-Web" provides a broad coverage of
the use of GML in different application areas, along with the
technical means for building these applications.
Starting from the basic concepts, this book works through all
the important topics in both GML 2.0 and GML 3.0, with
illustrations and worked examples to demonstrate its use. Organized
into two sections, Volume I introduces readers to the new world of
GML, and explains how it can be used across a broad range of GIS
projects. It deals with the basic concepts of XML and GML, and
enables readers to make decisions on the utility of GML in their
projects and software acquisitions. Volume II is intended for the
technical reader and answers questions on the meaning and structure
of GML schema components, the development of GML application
schemas, and the use of GML in connection with web services, legacy
GIS and relational databases.Contains worked examplesCovers all
aspects of GML 3.0 from geometry and topology to units of measure,
default styling and coveragesExplains the Geo-Web and its impact on
vertical applicationsAuthored by leading figures in GML
development
This book is a must have for GIS vendors, system integrators and
data providers; local/state/provincial and national government
agencies; utilities and telecommunication companies; location-based
services companies; data distributors; software developers and
technical managers. It would make an excellent reference for mid
and upper-level undergraduate students and Masters students taking
technical GIS modules as part of a GIS or Technical Geography
programmes.
