The accelerated proliferation of geographic information systems (GIS), especially in the last decade, has greatly expanded connotation GIS technology from primarily a diverse suite digital objects, representations, and devices that create or make use geographical to mediated means with which we humans experience, explore, sense world. research perspective humanistic is proposed better encompass...

This paper describes an architecture which can be used to access geographic information from mobile devices with limited display and processing characteristics, such as Personal Digital Assistants (PDA) or Mobile Phones. The information may come from different sources leading to an interoperable solution. M-GIS obtains geographic information from sources described using Geography Markup Languag...

This paper presents a new design for a census-based binational geographic information system. GIS has had limited application intra-censally i.e. between nations. The reasons are the formidable obstacles of standardization of attributes, matching of meaning of attributes, consistency of data-bases, and consistency of boundary files. Many problems in public administration can be solved by using ...

Currently in many major cities, public transit schedules are disseminated through lists of routes, grids of stop times and static maps. This paper describes a web based geographic information system which disseminates the same schedule information through intuitive GIS techniques. Using data from Calgary, Canada, an map based interface has been created to allow users to see routes, stops and mo...

The article is devoted to the problem of incorporation geographic information systems (GIS) in world school practice. authors single out stages GIS application geographical education based on retrospective analysis scientific literature. first stage (late 70s - early 90s 20th century) beginning educational programs and partnership agreements between schools universities. second (mid century 21s...

Naïve Geography, intelligent geographical information systems (GIS), and spatial data mining especially from social media all rely on natural-language spatial relations (NLSR) terms to incorporate commonsense spatial knowledge into conventional GIS and to enhance the semantic interoperability of spatial information in social media data. Yet, the inherent fuzziness of NLSR terms makes them chall...
