Abstract :
Stereotypes provide a mechanism for extending the vocabulary of the UML. Present UML-based formalisms for geographic information system use the concept of visual stereotypes in order to represent geographic types. This paper extends the expressiveness of stereotypes currently defined for geographic types and describes an algorithm for the computation of visual stereotypes resulting from aggregation operations
