Spatial Data Quality Michael F. Goodchild 1. Ausgabe

As research in the geosciences and social sciences becomes increasingly dependent on computers, geographical information systems are becoming indispensable tools. This book covers many of the cutting-edge research issues related to spatial data quality, including measurement in GIS and geostatistics, the modeling of spatial objects that have inherent uncertainty, spatial data quality control, quality management, communicating uncertainty and resolution, reasoning and decision-making, visualization of uncertainty and error metadata. Spatial Data Quality will be of interest to anyone undertaking research using GIS and related technologies.
