An Overland Flood Model for Geographical Information Systems

Geographical Information Systems An Overview

Although many GIS have been successfully implemented, it has become quite clear that two-dimensional maps with most complex contours and color schema cannot precisely present multidimensional and dynamic spatial phenomena. Most GISs in use today have not been designed to support multimedia data and therefore have very limited capability due to the large data volumes, very rich semantics and ver...

Formalizing a Hypermap Object Model for Multimedia-Geographical Information Systems*

The notion of hypermap emerged as a response to the need for adding to geographical information systems (GIS) the linking and semantics capabilities of hypermedia. A hypermap is a new and powerful instrument for thematic cartography and spatial analysis in GIS. It extends the ability of a GIS to represent, store, manipulate, and display digital maps with the associative linking and interactive ...

Providing an Enterprise Architecture Framework Model for Laboratory Information Management Systems by Service Oriented Approach

Background and Aim: Laboratories are one of the most important scientific and research centers. Laboratory information management systems provide a platform for recording the information and collaborating between researchers. The main purpose of this study was suggesting an organizational architecture model of laboratory information management systems.  Materials and Methods: This study was a ...

Geographical Domain and Geographical Information Systems

In the eld of geography, we have beenexamining the contribution of the morpho-genetic rep-resentation to the comprehension of the cycle: reality,representation, model, reality. A distinction is madebetween map and geomap based on the notion of locus-object. 1. Foundations and limits of cartographic rep-
