Abstract

The evolution of open standards and especially those pertaining to the family of XML technologies have a considerable impact on the way the spatial data are stored, transferred, processed and displayed. This paper elaborates on the development of a service for the transfer and dynamic generalisation of linear features over the Web. This entails the parametric description of lines’ shape with a number of measures, the segmentation of lines in homogeneous segments and the development of the relevant application schema. The methodology can be utilised for the generalisation and transfer of linear features in the framework of the I HO Transfer Standard [S-57] and its representation in GML.
