Beyond Mapping Compilation Series

by Joseph K. Berry

…Beyond Mapping columns appearing in GeoWorld (formally GIS World) magazine

from March 1989 through December 2013.

Most GIS applications have focused on mapping and spatial data management for viewing and geo-query of mapped data.  Map analysis and GIS modeling involve entirely new spatial reasoning concepts and procedures that are not reflected in our paper map legacy.  The four books in the Beyond Mapping Compilation Series are based on Joe Berry’s popular "Beyond Mapping" columns in GIS World/GeoWorld magazine that discuss the new breed of map analysis tools, how they can be used to better characterize and communicate spatial relationships, be organized into effective GIS model solutions, and spark entirely new spatial paradigms. The topics covered are written for novices, as well as GIS professionals, in a witty style that entertains as well as informs.

Combined Index

****** In Preparation ******

Table Overview:

The Combined Index identifies where key words and phrases appear in the four books in the Beyond Mapping Compilation Series.

Table Structure:

Key Word/Phrase

Book IV GIS Modeling (Column 2)

Book III Map Analysis (Column 3)

Book II Spatial Reasoning (Column 4)

Book I Beyond Mapping (Column 5)

Key Word/Phrase (Column 1) is an alphabetical listing of key words/phrases appearing in the books. Many of the key words/phrases have multiple occurrences in one or more of the books.

Books (Columns 2 through 5) identify the books in the series. Entries in these columns identify/link to the Topic and Section or sub-section in a book that contains discussion of the key word/phrase listed in column1 for that row (table record).

The Occurrence Code hyperlinks identify the Topic (“T_”), Section (“S_”) or Further Reading Sub-section (“R_”). For example—

T3S1 in column 3, identifies Book III, Topic 3, Section 1

T10S3 in column 5, identifies Book I, Topic 10, Section 3

T8S3R5 in column 2, identifies Book IV, Topic 8, Section 3, Further Reading Sub-section 5.
