Boundary bias representations faced by China in electronic maps(atlas):Reality and solution

The boundary bias representation problem has occurred in the current information society with the development and application of electronic map(atlas).By surveying various kinds of electronic maps around the world,boundary bias representation problem was identified and classified.The boundary bias representation caused by various kinds of electronic maps is related to the potential of the Internet resources and information transfer/exchange between countries.The methods for measuring boundary bias representation were evaluated to inspect boundary bias representation which are suitable for different groups of people.A solution was given under the World Summit on the Information Society(WSIS) framework which is targeted at the essence of national boundary bias representation properties.The results show that WSIS is an opportunity for China to totally eliminate its boundary bias representation within the use of various kinds of electronic map media.
