Abstract

Digitally capturing and maintaining geospatial data is expensive. The consequence is that there is a need for the integration of geoprocessing software into mainstream computer technology and a demand to share geospatial data. This demand includes consequently the sharing of specific graphic views on it. In this paper an implementable framework is presented for defining graphic views on geospatial data. This is based on an existing geospatial data definition language and a transfer format, called INTERLIS.
