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.
