| Abstract |
Constraints are limitations to
resources, space, time and potential solutions to problems that
must be respected in order to achieve useful results. Constraints
to map generalisation derive from controls to map production, as
well as procedural considerations. After describing the roles of
constraints, specific graphic and geographic constraints are
itemised and illustrated. Connections between constraints, data ,
knowledge, process and agent modelling are described and explored
in a using a variety of examples. |
