Re-Presenting Gis

Klappentext 'Geographical information science' is not merely a technical subject but also poses theoretical questions on the nature of geographic representation and whether there exist limits on the ability of GI systems to deal with certain objects and issues. This book presents the debate surrounding technical GIS and theory of representation from an 'inside' GIS perspective.Chapters are authored by leading researchers from a range of fields including geographers, planners, ecologists and computer scientists from Europe and North America. Zusammenfassung Geographical information science is now recognised as a multi-disciplinary subject that receives interest from the technical and socio-theoretical ends of the research spectrum. Re-Presenting GIS brings together in one cohesive volume the concepts and concerns of both schools of thought and looks at GIS from a theoretical and practical perspective.
