Geography Mark-Up Language - Milan Trninic - Bog - John Wiley & Sons Inc - Plusbog.dk

The development of the Internet has changed the environment for Geographical Information Systems (GIS), with the emphasis shifting from analysis to the sharing of data and information over the Internet thus making GIS more mobile and powerful. The Geography Mark-Up Language (GML) was developed as the standard language and is emerging as the foundation for Internet GIS. Geography Mark-Up Language: Foundation for the Geo-Web provides a broad coverage of the use of GML in different application areas, along with the technical means for building these applications. Starting from the basic concepts, this book works through all the important topics in both GML 2.0 and GML 3.0, with illustrations and worked examples to demonstrate its use. Organized into two sections, Volume I introduces readers to the new world of GML, and explains how it can be used across a broad range of GIS projects. It deals with the basic concepts of XML and GML, and enables readers to make decisions on the utility of GML in their projects and software acquisitions. Volume II is intended for the technical reader and answers questions on the meaning and structure of GML schema components, the development of GML application schemas, and the use of GML in connection with web services, legacy GIS and relational databases. - - Contains worked examples - - Covers all aspects of GML 3.0 from geometry and topology to units of measure, default styling and coverages - - Explains the Geo-Web and its impact on vertical applications - - Authored by leading figures in GML development - This book is a must have for GIS vendors, system integrators and data providers; local/state/provincial and national government agencies; utilities and telecommunication companies; location-based services companies; data distributors; software developers and technical managers.

Meeting the Fox - Orr Kelly - Bog - John Wiley & Sons Inc - Plusbog.dk

Praise for Meeting the Fox "Orr Kelly has dramatically brought to life the desert war bymasterfully weaving the view of higher headquarters with the pathosof the foxhole. Meeting the Fox takes the reader on a grippingjourney from North Africa''s beaches and drop zones, the practicallyforgotten disaster at Sidi bou Zid, to the final battles inTunisia. Meeting the Fox is destined to rank among the bestnarrative histories on the American experience in NorthAfrica." -- Patrick O''Donnell, author of Beyond Valor and Into the RisingSun "An almost bullet-by-bullet, shell-by-shell account, Meeting theFox offers riveting personal experiences from those who fought theAxis forces during the desperate campaign for North Africa." --Gerald Astor, historian and author of A Blood-Dimmed Tide and TheGreatest War, Vols. I--III As their unproven commanders struggled to match wits with the wilyDesert Fox, 100,000 poorly equipped, undertrained, andinexperienced GIs battled their way across North Africa. Hobbled byinferior weaponry and an inexperienced officer corps, these greenbut courageous citizen soldiers clashed head-on with the fabledGerman Afrika Korps and its legendary commander, Erwin Rommel.Meeting the Fox tells the unforgettable tale of the men whotransformed themselves, in the heat of battle, from a poorlyorganized army of convenience into a relentless and unstoppablefighting force.

4D Hyperlocal - - Bog - John Wiley & Sons Inc - Plusbog.dk

4D Hyperlocal - - Bog - John Wiley & Sons Inc - Plusbog.dk

4D Hyperlocal: A Cultural Tool Kit for the Open-source City The evolution of digital tools is revolutionising urban design, planning and community engagement. This is enabling a new ‘hyperlocal’ mode of design made possible by geolocation technologies and GPS-enabled mobile devices that support connectivity through open-source applications. Real-time analysis of environments and individuals’ input and feedback bring a new immediacy and responsiveness. Established linear design methods are being replaced by adaptable mapping processes, real-time data streams and experiential means, fostering more dynamic spatial analysis and public feedback. This shifts the emphasis in urban design from the creation of objects and spaces to collaboration with users, and from centralised to distributed participatory systems. Hyperlocal tools foster dynamic relational spatial analysis, making their deployment in urban and rural contexts challenged by transformation particularly significant. How can hyperlocal methods, solutions – including enterprise-driven uses of technology for bioclimatic design – and contexts influence each other and support the evolution of participatory architectural design? What issues, for example, arise from using real-time data to test scenarios and shape environments through 3D digital visualisation and simulation methods? What are the advantages of using GIS – with its integrative and visualising capacities and relational, flexible definition of scale – with GPS for multi-scalar mapping?
