Figure 5: Data modeling from the real world to a database, and from there to digital cartographic models and analogue products for visualization.. Figure 20: Sample (a) region, (b) its binary array, (c) its maximal blocks, and (d) the corresponding quadtree (after SAMET 1990a). IX he first textbook on GIS was published in 1986. Today, we can find dozens of books dealing with GIS. Yet, it is dif...

The task assigned to me in the preparation of this paper was to discuss the interrelationship between linguistics and information science, using the book by Sparck Jones and Kay (1973) as my point of departure. My viewpoint is that of the information scientist and I make no claim to have more than a superficial acquaintance with the field of linguistics. The paper is restricted to a considerati...

Until it joined with the Library Association in 2002 to form the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP), the Institute of Information Scientists was a professional organisation for those primarily working in scientific and technical information work. The chapters in this volume were first published in 2008 as a special issue of the Journal of Information Science to...

The Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA) is a map of the human body. Like maps of other sorts – including the map-like representations we find in familiar anatomical atlases – it is a representation of a certain portion of spatial reality as it exists at a certain (idealized) instant of time. But unlike other maps, the FMA comes in the form of a sophisticated ontology of its objectdomain, compri...

A framework integrating information theory and network science is proposed, giving rise to a potentially new area of network information science. By incorporating and integrating concepts such as complexity, coding, topological projections and network dynamics, the proposed networkbased framework paves the way not only to extending traditional information science, but also to modeling, characte...
