从不同比例尺的地理测绘到基于位置的警报服务，地理信息学在研究和控制严重急性呼吸系统综合症（SARS）等全球疫情中发挥着重要作用。本文回顾了互联网上 SARS 的几项地理测绘工作，这些工作采用了多种技术，如等值线渲染、分级圆、分级饼图、缓冲、叠加分析和动画。这些测绘服务的目的是教育公众（特别是前往潜在风险地区的旅行者）并协助公共卫生当局分析 SARS 的时空趋势和模式，以及评估/修订当前的控制措施。
From geographic mapping at different scales to location-based alerting services, geoinformatics plays an important role in the study and control of global outbreaks like severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). This paper reviews several geographic mapping efforts of SARS on the Internet that employ a variety of techniques like choropleth rendering, graduated circles, graduated pie charts, buffering, overlay analysis and animation. The aim of these mapping services is to educate the public (especially travellers to potentially at-risk areas) and assist public health authorities in analysing the spatial and temporal trends and patterns of SARS and in assessing/revising current control measures.
