Partial contents:
Data modelling and spatial data structures: A multi-resolution data storage scheme for 3D GIS -- Storage-efficient techniques for representing digital terrain models -- Modelling historical change in southern Corsica: temporal GIS development using an extensible database system -- Towards a model for multimedia geographical information systems
Spatial analysis: Recent advances in the exploratory analysis of interregional flows in space and time -- A genetic programming approach to building new spatial models relevant to GIS -- Exploring categorical spatial data: an interactive approach -- A universal translator of linguistic hedges for the handling of uncertainty and fitness-for-use in GIS
Environmental modelling: Environmental modelling with geographical information systems -- VGIS: a GIS shell for the conceptual design of environmental models -- Mapping sub-pixel boundaries from remotely sensed images -- Towards a 4D GIS: four-dimensional interpolation utilizing kriging -- Assessing the influence of digital terrain model characteristics on tropical slope stability analysis
GIS: science ethics and infrastructure: GIS without computers: building geographic information science from the ground up -- The ethics of six actors in the geographical information systems arena -- Geographic information: a resource, a commodity, an asset or an infrastructure?
GIS: the impact of the Internet: Designing a scientific database query server using the world wide web: the example of Tephrabase -- Open spatial decision-making: evaluating the potential of the world wide web
Summary: Contains revised versions of a selected subset of papers presented at the fourth national conference on GIS research UK held at the University of Kent in April 1996. The papers chosen reflect the interdisciplinary nature of GIS research and its developing maturity. Volume concentrates on five main themes: data modelling and spatial data structures; spatial analysis; environmental modelling; science; ethics and infrastructure and the impact of the Internet.
