Generalization forThe National Map
To meet the goals of The National Map the USGS must accept high-resolution data from local, state, and other sources and merge these data into a consistent framework at an appropriate resolution. To the extent possible, this process should be automated, transparent to users, and occur in real time as part of The National Map viewer or the data delivery system. Part of this process will require spatial data generalization.

Multiresolution Raster Data forThe National Map
As science moves toward regional and global analyses with models of climate and human-induced change, methods are needed to project raster data accurately. The approach for this research theme is to use the theoretical and empirical base of knowledge to (1) design a new projection method accounting for raster cell size and latitude effects on accuracy, (2) systematically analyze the error effects and develop error correction procedures, and (3) develop raster
