Abstract
Map algebra is a general set of conventions, capabilities, and techniques that have been widely adopted for use with geographic information systems (GISs). This paper presents several broad and introductory views of map algebra that attempt to place this approach in conceptual and historical context. These views focus respectively on the map algebraic data model, its data-processing construct, notational syntax, predecessors, and likely near-term future.
