Pictorial Deduction in Spatial Information Systems - Meyer (1994) (5 citations) (Correct)
....have become an ever growing field of research. In recent years visual interfaces to spatial information systems have attracted an increasing amount of interest. Several proposals have been made and working systems have been implemented. Some of the most important approaches are described in [1 6]. Visual information access seems to be even more natural for spatial information than for general, abstract information, since spatial information can obviously be mapped to pictorial representations: spatial properties in the real world can directly be depicted as spatial properties in the ....

Mapgets: A Tool for Visualizing and Querying Geographic Information - Voisard (1995) (2 citations) (Correct)
....made to move away from the classical database map paradigm. These solutions stick to the mental model of the possible end users and are usually based on different families of metaphors such as the geographer s desktop, the room metaphor or the map overlay metaphor (for a comprehensive survey see [3]) Map querying can be either alphanumeric querying (e.g. What is the population of France ) or spatial querying (usually expressed graphically) In the latter case, it is tightly coupled to user interface aspects (e.g. What are the drugstores in this area , this area being drawn on the ....
....the reader is referred to [8, 21] ffl Providing, at a higher level: Tools for browsing the database and the map library, generally to select appropriate maps for a given study. A help environment. This can be a mechanism to simply represent what the user is doing by using metaphors [3]. Another useful concept is the context [1] which helps users interpret a query result by providing a geographic environment together with the graphical answer to a query. For instance, if a query answer is the city of Paris, it is usually more friendly to display it on a map of France (the ....
