Geographic Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery

by Harvey J. Miller

Geographic knowledge discovery (GKD) is based on a belief that there is novel and useful geographic knowledge hidden in the unprecedented amount and scope of digital geo-referenced data being collected, archived, and shared by researchers, public agencies, and the private sector. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the field, focusing on one of its central components—geographic data mining. This second edition contains completely updated chapters as well as new chapters in the emerging area of spatial-temporal and mobile objects databases.
