Abstract£ºWith the supporting LBS, the spatial information and services
are becoming accessible from a wide range of mobile devices, from
cellular phones, PDA, and in-car computers to palmtop computers
and other small mobile devices. Many wireless and mobile devices
are characterized by small display screens, limited processing speed,
low bandwidth connection, small memory and so on, and these considerations
also need to be taken into account when building LBS system. It
is not a graceful method to prepare for different data according
with different device. On the one hand, the kind of Multi-client
devices is rich and colorful. On the other hand, the same data must
be stored in different versions in server sides. XML technologies
separate content from presentation, which will solve the problem
along with the multi-client devices. SVG as a XML dialect in Internet
graphics is an effective method that can get abundant figures at
any moment in mobile interconnected era, and is also an effective
method that can descript and visualize the spatial information in
LBS. In this paper, we firstly researched the map relationship between
spatial information and tag of SVG. Secondly, the SVG building method
from spatial information was introduced. Then based on analyzing
the model of XML parse and the process of geometry render, the "pull"
parse model and DVR view combined to a SVG parse and rendering method
is proposed. Finally, based on the SVG rendering result of the complex
feature and multi-layer data reference to the policy of layer control,
it is feasible to apply SVG to descript and visualize spatial information.
SVG can settle the problem of many client devices in LBS and make
for the popularization and spread of spatial information.
