paper name:Transmitting Vector Geospatial Data across the Internet
abstract:
Transmitting geospatial data via the Internet has become commonplace,
and relies upon a raster data model that proves efficient for imagery
and satellite data products.Internet transmission of vector geospatial
data remains a challenge. The content and geometry of vector data
change with resolution, and this aspect of scale-dependence must be
accounted for in transmitting vector data across the Internet. The
paper presents design and implementation of an algorithm that
transmits vector coordinates at progressive levels of resolution,
preserving geometric and topologic properties.
