This paper presents the issues surrounding the integration and visualization of freight data using internet-based mapping applications. In relation to Internet-based mapping technology in freight data collection and planning we: (a) address implementation issues associated with data integration, (b) present a system architecture to leverage existing publicly available interfaces and web applica...

Analysis of demographic information is impossible without thematic mapping. Last year significant efforts were involved into putting such data coupled with interactive mapping service into the Internet. For example, 220 demographic variables from 1990 US Census are available online with CIESIN Demographic Viewer. Similar projects are running in other countries. Thus, in the UK the results of 19...

The heterogeneity of learner models in structure, syntax and semantics makes sharing them a significant challenge for existing educational web systems. Creating mappings between the different types of learner models is one technique that is used when attempting to overcome these issues. This paper presents an overview of research currently being conducted in the area of learner model exchange a...

Problem statement: World Wide Web (WWW) consisting large volume of information related with medicinal plants. However health care recommendation with Indian Medicinal Plants becomes complicated because valuable Information about medicinal resources as plants is scattered, in text form and unstructured. Search engines are not quite efficient and require excessive manual processing. Therefore sea...

A huge amount of data on the Web may be heterogeneous with respect to syntax, schemata and semantics. For instance, XML and RDF provide two completely different paradigms for modeling Web data. In this paper, we focus on the issue of mapping representations in an ontology-based framework that aims at integrating XML and RDF sources. We propose a solution that utilizes a new mapping language cal...

Participatory planning is a new paradigm in urban and community planning and a part of the future of the participation is on the Web. In this paper, new Web-based participation methods, along with their possibilities and challenges are studied. An urban planning experiment was carried out in the autumn 2007 in Pyhäjärvi, Finland. A Web mapping application was developed for the experiment to hel...

One way of conceptualizing physical spaces is to look at where people notice, remember, or note them. Computerassisted methods give us new tools based on implicit, rather than explicit, data about how users have examined and travelled online through cities. “Hotmap” is a tool that visualizes how people have used maps.live.com, an interactive mapping service, looking at what parts of the maps th...

RÉSUMÉ. La généralisation à la volée désigne l’utilisation de techniques de généralisation automatique en temps réel. Les données générées sont temporaires et exclusivement destinées à la visualisation et non pas au stockage ou à d’autres fins. Ceci, rend ce processus bien adapté aux contextes hautement interactifs tels que la cartographie en ligne et le SOLAP. BLG tree et GAP tree sont des str...

This paper examines the phenomena of online crowdsourcing from the perspectives of both volunteers and the campaign coordinator of Tomnod e an online mapping project that uses crowdsourcing to identify objects and places in satellite images. A mixed-methods approach was used to study the enablers and barriers to participation, taking into consideration the whole spectrum of volunteers. The resu...
