Abstract
For the purposes of this paper, a schematic map is a diagrammatic representation based on linear abstractions of networks. With the advent of technologies for web-based delivery of geospatial services it is essential to develop map generalization applications tailored for the same. This paper is concerned with the problem of producing automated schematic maps for web map applications. The paper looks at how previous solutions to the spatial conflict reduction can be adapted and applied to production of automated schematic maps for web services.
