摘要
Four levels of integration methods for Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Scientific Visualization (SciVis) are described. They are rudimentary (minimal data sharing); operational (consistency of data); functional (transparent communication); and merged (comprehensive toolkit). The role of virtual reality and World Wide Web (WWW) developments for geographic visualization are also highlighted. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science.
