X Abstract

Disaster response systems are designed to facilitate decision-making based on large amounts of heterogeneous geographic information. Most geographic information systems (GISs) use relational databases to manipulate information efficiently. However, they suffer from interoperability issues because they need to expend significant effort mapping heterogeneous geographic information, which may have complicated structures, into relational data models, and vice versa. Geography Markup Language (GML) is regarded as a standard for expressing, storing, and exchanging geospatial data, and has been applied to help solve interoperability problems. Interestingly, no GIS has been built on native XML/GML technologies so far. There are two possible reasons for this: current XML processors are incapable of processing geospatial information, and they are inefficient in manipulating large XML documents. In this paper, we resolve these two difficulties and move forward to realizing GML-native web-based geographic information systems.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
