Abstract
Progressive transmission of raster images over the World-Wide Web
has been successfully applied to provide the user with coarser
versions of the data before downloading a complete image. On the
other hand, in the vector domain progressive transmission is
challenging. Increasing the level of detail of a vector dataset
does not simply imply adding pixels to it. In this paper, we
discuss issues related to the progressive transmission of vector
maps. We also describe a model for multiple representations of maps
that can be transmitted progressively.
