Research question:
Can we use a formal map specification language to facilitate, in a distributed webservices environment, the automatic generation of maps from spatio–temporal data in a format suitable for internet dissemination?
Description of research interests:
I want to look further in facilitating the production of (animated) maps from spatio–temporal data to a format suitable for internet dissemination, automatically and directly. To achieve that, I want to look specifically into the possibilities of the loose coupling of distributed webservices with animated, interactive vector maps. The main research question could be formulated as
can we use a formal map specification language to facilitate, in a distributed webservices environment, the automatic generation of maps from spatio–temporal data in a format suitable for internet dissemination?
