Overview

Clarity is a rules-based environment for automated generalisation. Generalisation is the art of taking large scale mapping data and producing smaller scale mapping products. Clarity emerged from an ESPRIT project (Ref #24939) and is based on Agent technologies.

Spatial data dates quickly. Real world change is the culprit. Keeping maps and location-based products up to date with huge volumes of data is a big challenge.

Clarity provides the following business benefits to meet the challenge:

• Reproducibility of results through rules enforcement
• Increased frequency of map product updates through automation
• Reduction in the number of scale dependent databases and in the number of places that changes have to be made
• Improve customer satisfaction by ensuring that products are up to date
• Open up new sales by introducing new products to suit market needs
