| This text describes late-1990s understanding of map generalization in the context of paper maps and GIS. Its particular value should be in helping to further automate and measure the process of map generalization.; The research has concentrated on quantifying generalization effects and on analyzing how these effects of generalization locked into the maps were measured. Elsa Joao's book covers the background to the problems of map generlization; the methodology developed by the author to investigate the consequences of the map generalization; a detailed description of results, and a conclusion that draws together consequences for the broader applications to GIS. |
