Constructing Map Operations Using the Fundamental Map Operations

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Map Framework

Abstract

A powerful aspect of the Map Framework is that the power operations are able to be composed to form complex operations over maps. In this chapter, we identify common map operations from the literature, and then derive them in the context of the Map Framework.
