Product Description
This text focuses on the ways in which GIS could be made multi-dimensional, based on modelling limitations of current two-dimensional GIS. It suggests extending GIS to incorporate the third dimension, 3D GIS, and spatio-temporal GIS.

Editorial Reviews
Nicholas Chrisman, International Journal of Geographical Information Science
A careful piece of scholarship in assembling so many elements of the story. Advanced graduate students will find this a starting point on a wide literature.
From the Back Cover
Geographic Information Systems mainly tend to be two dimensional, thus limiting the applications. As GIS are being developed, researchers and practioners are finding new ways of making GIS three dimensional, even four dimensional in some instances, increasing their usability. This book focuses on the way in which GIS could be made `multidimensional' based on the modelling limitations of current 2D GIS. It suggests extending GIS to incorporate the third and fourth dimensions, as well as time (spatio-temporal GIS), using a variety of programming techniques and discusses current examples of multidimensional GIS.
There is currently no other book that deals with multidimensional GIS in this way and the renowned author is at the cutting edge of research.
