17th ICA Workshop on Generalisation and Multiple Representation

This year's ICA Workshop on Generalisation and Multiple Representation will take place in Vienna, Austria on the 23rd of September 2014. I've been to the past three workshops in Paris, Istanbul and Dresden and I've always had very useful feedback from paper reviewers and from attendees. The workshops are always small but very focussed.

New generalisation book

The new book produced by the ICA Commission on Generalisation and Multiple Representation, Abstracting Geographic Information in a Data Rich World, is now available.

Unlike a lot of academic books it is not merely a collection of conference papers. It also contains a modest contribution (approx. 5 pages) from me on ontologies and generalisation.

This book is a follow up to the 2007 book Generalisation of geographic information: cartographic modelling and applications.
