Conceptual Framework of On-The-Fly Web Map Generalization Process

Authors: ,

Abstract: Today, great numbers of users want access to spatial data on the web specific to their needs. This may be possible by applying the suitable generalization process which consists to simplify the objects of the map and may transform the topological relations between them into another ones in real-time. This process called on-the-fly generalization maps. Many approaches were proposed for improving this process, but those do not suffice to guide a powerful and efficient process. In this paper, we will propose a conceptual framework to transform the topological relationships during the on-the-fly web map generalization and treat the problem associated to modeling of streets and rivers as Linear objects because, in the reality ( real word), they have some widths or areas. By considering a road or a river as a line or as an area, topological relationships can be different. We use mainly two types of object; ribbon and regions.
