Description: Large-scale 3D Data Integration : Challenges and Opportunities, Hardcover by Zlatanova, Sisi (EDT); Prosperi, David (EDT); Zlatanova, Siyka (EDT), ISBN 0849398983, ISBN-13 9780849398988, Brand New, Free P&P in the UK The use of large-scale three-dimensional computer models developed in the contexts of systems for architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) and geographic information systems (GIS), which now leads to the issues of how best to integrate data, allowing for the interoperability of data developed in the different modeling systems. This issue and related questions are taken up by the nine papers presented here by Zlatanova (GIS technology, Delft U. of Technology, the Netherlands) and Prosperi (urban and regional planning, Florida Atlantic U., US). The papers begin with a review of the major issues involved in integrating AEC and GIS, including data integration and semantics, ontology, and standardization. Next, issues of data handling and modeling are considered from the viewpoints of data collection, database structures and representation, database management, and visualization. The next section, titled "Interoperability," covers the areas of semantics, ontology, and standardization from a theoretic perspective and presents some real-world examples of the theoretical approach. The final papers focus on recent advances in virtual geographic environments and alternative modeling schemes for the AEC/GIS interface. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
