generalization/schematization research in some of our research labs and thanks to Dr Luciene Delazari (Federal University of Parana, Brazil), Piotr Pociask (GIS Support Sp, Warsaw) and Dr Mark Ware (University of South Wales) for supervising this excellent work on building the <b>Schematization Plugin for QGIS</b> and student Nishith Maheshwari (IIIT Hyderabad, India) for building this. This will now enable more
collaborative research ideas for the map generalization research community for extending this as an open schematization platform which other students in future can use to build upon. It is an excellent example of how we can build ideas for collaborative research for ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS labs for the future.</div><div class="yiv5979264618MsoNormal"> </div><div class="yiv5979264618MsoNormal">This will also help us build ideas for next year’s GSoC by having members of ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS labs network collaborate on other interesting ideas.</div><div class="yiv5979264618MsoNormal"> </div><div class="yiv5979264618MsoNormal"><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://hub.qgis.org/wiki/quantum-gis/Nishithm">http://hub.qgis.org/wiki/quantum-gis/Nishithm</a> </div><div class="yiv5979264618MsoNormal"> </div><div class="yiv5979264618MsoNormal">Great work all and thanks for your contributions which help build the momentum for sharing knowledge
