promote this kind of activity. They are fuelled by a number of related trends,
including: advances in computing; the increasing availability of formally
derived spatial data; the georeferencing of a whole host of diverse data sets
including user contributed 'social' data. Situating these techniques in applied
contexts and real workflows is less common and developing geovisualization
applications through a process that involves establishing needs and
requirements is rare.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
