Car navigation is a field in broad expansion and the industry quickly developed a standard to model cartographic data useful for the applications of the road transport telematics: GDF, Geographic Data Files. Since its first version in 1988, GDF became an I ...
A new architecture for GIS is presented based on a systems view of geographical space as it is popular in geography. Starting with concepts of spatial modelling, current GIS standards are examined for their suitability to support different modelling concep ...
Switzerland is exceptionally subjected to landslides; indeed, about 10% of its area is considered as unstable. Making this observation, its Department of the Environment (BAFU) introduced in 1997 a method to realize landslide hazard map. It is routinely us ...
