Abstract
When looking for specific detail within the context of spatial information, users are often faced with the problem of information overload. Moreover, research efforts in responding to such needs, and in general, are impeded by a lack of non-proprietary platforms for development. Personalization is a powerful concept for providing users with precise information that satisfies their current requirements. Personalization techniques are currently in widespread use across the World Wide Web. However, existing Web map servers do not offer much support for personalization in terms of map content. Furthermore, these systems are heavily reliant on proprietary software. We propose a solution to these problems by outlining a prototype system that presents the user with personalized maps containing condensed content. Such a system has been developed using non-proprietary software for both the Web and mobile environments.
