Opis

This text focuses on the ways in which GIS could be made multi dimensional, based on modelling limitations of current two-dimensional GIS. It suggests extending GIS to incorporate the third dimension (3D GIS) as well as time (spatio-temporal GIS), using a variety of programming techniques. This book represents late 1990s knowledge about 3D and 4D GIS.
