摘要:In cartographic generalization, cartographic entities would change with scale. State and event are two basic elements to describe these changes. However, current hierarchical multi-scale representation models put more emphasis on the representation of state, rather than on the event that causes the state to change. In this paper, elementary concepts such as scale reference system, scale event are firstly discussed, and then a Petri-net-based multi-scale representation model is proposed, in which place, transition, and arc of a Petri net are used for describing state, event of and relations between cartographic entities. Finally, by making some experiment benefits of this model are analyzed in great detail
