"Theoretical and Applied Solutions in Multi Scale Mapping"
Users have come to expect instant access to up-to-date geographical
information, with global coverage--presented at widely varying
levels of detail, as digital and paper products; customisable data
that can readily combined with other geographic information. These
requirements present an immense challenge to those supporting the
delivery of such services (National Mapping Agencies (NMA),
Government Departments, and private business. Generalisation of
Geographic Information: Cartographic Modelling and Applications
provides detailed review of state of the art technologies
associated with these challenges, including the most recent
developments in cartometric analysis techniques able to support
high levels of automation among multi scale derivation techniques.
The book illustrates the application of these ideas within existing
and emerging technologies. In addition to providing a comprehensive
theoretical underpinning, the book demonstrates how theoretical
developments have translated into commercial systems deployed
within NMAs.
The book explores relevance of open systems in support of
collaborative research and open source web based map services.
*State of the art review on multi scale representation

*Detailed consideration of database requirements and object
modeling in support of emerging applications (3D, mobile) and
innovative delivery (map generalisation services)
*Illustration through existing map production environment
implementations
*Consolidated bibliography (680 entries), 200 illustrations, author
and subject index
