....continuous from a macroscopic point of view, whereas cyberspace is digital, Boolean, changing from one state to another with no transition. 2.3 Place in GIS The concept of place has thus far been neglected within GIS. Present GIS are built on two basic standard data structures, vector and raster (Frank 1992), and model space with reference to the coordinates of a location. Such a way of mapping space, though useful, does not always match the way people think about their world. The spaces defined by mathematics and physics are enriched with human experience and become what we call places (Couclelis ....

....for them. Section 7 briefly reviews the formal model of maps and map operations as described in (Erwig et al. 1997) Section 8 formalizes definitions of the new map operations. Finally, Section 9 draws some conclusions. 2 RELATED WORK Maps have been identified as a central spatial concept (Frank, 1990) to organize our perception and understanding of space. They correspond to the cognitive experience and knowledge humans have of areal phenomena in the real world. Frequently, maps arise from classifying space according to some attribute (like rural areas according to their agricultural use) ....

.... (not to be confused with object oriented as used in software engineering; Worboys 1994) uses the term object based GIS, where objects have sharp boundaries delimited by vectors and the GIS which model the continuous variation of attributes over space using a regular tessellation e.g. a raster (Frank 1990). Efforts to merge the two representations were attempted (Peuquet 1983) It has been a very fruitful debate as it has forced us to consider and reconsider the epistemological bases of our work and has led to an extensive discussion of fundamental questions (Chrisman 1987) Mark and Frank 1991) ....
