Excerpt

The surface of the Earth covers some 510 million square kilometers, so a vast amount of digital information would be required to represent it in any detail. But for many purposes it would be sufficient to work from a coarse representation. To create an outline map of the continents, for example, one could omit all detail about the oceans, topography, and human habitation, and capture only a set of lines that follow the coasts (and the land boundaries between Europe and Asia and between North and South America). An additional decision would have to be made about the appropriate level of detail in the representation of coastlines, because the convolutions of many coastlines and their offshore islands might not be relevant to a particular application. …
