Preferred term
multiscale representations
Definition
- The term multiscale representations refers to versions of a data set that are derived from the original compilation and designed for use at mapping scales other than the original compilation scale. Generally, the derived mapping scales are smaller scales than the compilation, but in current practice, it is accepted convention to derive multiscale representations for mapping at slightly larger scales as well.
