Abstract
In this study, we discuss the key issues behind geographic data integration mechanism. In particular, we develop a covering algorithm to ensure the minimum number of geographic data is retrieved to response a user’s request. The request sending from the user’s application asks for a geographic map which covers a certain region. The algorithm finds a set of geographic data, by processing the geographic data within the set, the area of the region is fully covered. These geographic data are then sent to the server and an integration operation is performed. A response in the form of a geographic map is returned to the user. The approaches that retrieve a minimum number of data will contribute a lot to the performance of the integration of geographic data in the distributed geographic environment.
