Liability in data, products, and services related to geographic information systems, spatial data infrastructure, location based services and web mapping services, is complicated by the complexities and uncertainties in liability for information system products and services generally, as well as by legal theory uncertainties surrounding liability for maps. Each application of geospatial technol...

Archaeology has been historically reluctant to embrace the subject of agent-based simulation, since it was seen as being used to "re-enact" and "visualize" possible scenarios for a wider (generally non-scientific)...

This paper examines location-based services (LBS) from a broad perspective involving deWnitions, characteristics, and application prospects. We present an overview of LBS modeling regarding users, locations, contexts and data. The LBS modeling endeavors are cross-examined with a research agenda of geographic information science. Some core research themes are brieXy speculated. © 2006 Elsevier L...

Blood is a saver of all existing lives in case of emergency needs. During the blood transfusion process, the acceptor receiving blood should be considered before donating the blood. The blood donor information should be checked before displaying their details on the website. Technopedia is nothing but web service with a mobile application. In this paper, we propose an extended web application t...

Geographic information science (GIScience) education has undergone enormous changes over the past years. One major factor influencing this change is the role of the geospatial web in GIScience. In addition to the use of the web for enabling and enhancing GIScience education, it is also used as the infrastructure for communicating and collaborating among geospatial data and users. The web become...

This chapter describes the development and implementation of an operational method for integrating expert and local knowledge with new technologies for geographic mapping and communications, to enhance cultural landscape analysis and planning. Topics include the following aspects: a) analysis of type(s) of information required to construct a geographic information system (GIS), with the landsca...

Health is one of the most obvious and important issues preoccupied the human mind, as a concern which still is in force. Maintaining health requires health-related information which is found in the informative resources of the relevant area. Web space is considered as a multi-functional and multi-directional sources of information in which the quantity of presented information is increasing...

The increasing popularity of the Internet has led to the development of Web applications, known as Web GIS. A geographic information system (called GIS from now) is a software system that manages geo-referenced information. GIS systems are an automated system used for storing, analysing and manipulating geographical information. Geographical information represents objects and actions where geog...
