Abstract
Multiscale vector map database is one of the most fundamental components in the national spatial data infrastructure (NSDI), because vector map data provides geographically spatial positioning bases for various location-based services in the communities of politics, economy, military, environment, traffic, transportation, and telecommunication, etc., and plays an important role in the construction of digital cities (Yan 2010).
