| Abstract | This paper proposes a method for generating a Focus+Glue+Context map for Web map services by improving existing fisheye views methods for cartographic data. While many studies have focused on fisheye views, the problems of the excessively large distortions that maps have over their entire area and/or the high density of roads in the borders of the maps have yet to be resolved. To completely remove the distortions in both the Focus and the Context areas, we propose the inclusion of a Glue area between the two areas. Moreover, we propose the following features. (1) We propose the Dynamic Displacement function to generate a Focus and a Glue having an arbitrary convex or star-shaped polygon. (2) Since the Glue area absorbs all distortion from the Focus and the Context areas, the density of roads along the angular direction of the Glue will be excessively high. To reduce the density of roads, we propose the Following Paths algorithm to display only those roads that are along the radial direction and that are reached from the Focus area to the Context area. This method enables users to understand a map easily with high visibility of the Glue area. (3) To realize Web map services, we have to generate a map quickly. Therefore, the Glue area is generated dynamically, while the Focus and the Context areas display previously generated static maps. These maps are composited in a client Web browser by the Dynamic Map Composition method. We developed a prototype of our system that implements these features and evaluated the advantages of the proposed method. The new system can contribute to novel Web map services with fisheye views. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
