MORE ON THE "WHAT"
The China Data Center at the University of 
Michigan is an international center for advancing 
the study and understanding of China. This 
presentation will give an introduction to some 
China data products, data services, and China 
data applications in research and education. The 
presentation will demonstrate how the democratic 
data can be integrated with the GIS maps of China 
at province, prefecture, county, and township, 
how to estimate the township boundaries, and how 
to project the demographic data into 1 sq km GRID 
data with multilayer information. Some innovative 
toolkits (web-based services and desktop 
software) will be introduced for advanced spatial 
data analysis and mapping of China. For more 
information and background on the Center consult
