Qian Jun · Tropical Geography · 2000
It is an unavoidable tendency that GIS technology will finally be integrated into the mainstream of IT industry, that means traditional GIS system integrating technologies will meet great challenge. Some concepts in “Digital Earth” may be taken as criteria for future development of GIS. Some popular GIS integration schemes, such as embedded system integration , multi GIS platform integration and com based system integration are analysed. Examples of application of those schemes are compared and some problems are discussed. The results will be of reference value for further development of the system.
