Later, they also mentioned affinities between those two charts and the famous chart known as Kunstmann III. However, they did not pursue these observations further. The present paper proceeds from where those researchers stopped investigating and proposes a fresh look on this cartographic material by combining a traditional historical approach with modern digital techniques. First, a comparative study of the toponomy of a common area of the charts will be presented. Later, each chart will be examined with the help of cartometric methods to access their implicit geometry. The advancements on the study of correlations between these charts will be shown, thus confirming that the combination of traditional and digital methods of investigation open very promising perspectives to the study of unsolved questions in the History of Cartography.

Minimum-error world map projections defined by polydimensional meshes / Justin H. Kunimune in International journal of cartography, vol 7 n° 1 (March 2021)

Conventional map projections are defined by mathematical formulas, and are thereby limited in their ability to control that distortion by the complexity of those formulas. Piecewise map projections based on interpolation onto unstructured meshes have no such constraints, and can therefore create maps that are better suited to many use cases. A method using multi-dimensional optimization to optimize such map projections is presented here, and demonstrated by the generation of several new map projections. These map projections are presented as the Danseiji projections, along with their potential applications.

Automating and utilising equal-distribution data classification / Gennady Andrienko in International journal of cartography, vol 7 n° 1 (March 2021)  

Public [article]  inInternational journal of cartography > vol 7 n° 1 (March 2021) . - pp 100 - 115 Titre : Automating and utilising equal-distribution data classification Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Gennady Andrienko, Auteur ; Natalia Andrienko, Auteur ; Ibad Kureshi, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 100 - 115 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Cartographie thématique [Termes IGN] analyse spatiale [Termes IGN] attribut géomètrique [Termes IGN] attribut sémantique [Termes IGN] carte choroplèthe [Termes IGN] classification [Termes IGN] exploration de données géographiques [Termes IGN] intervalle de classe [Termes IGN] répartition géographique Résumé : (Auteur) Data classification, i.e. organising data items in groups (classes), is a general technique widely used in data visualisation and cartography, in particular, for creation of choropleth maps. Conventionally, data are classified by dividing the data range into intervals and assigning the same symbol or colour to all data falling within an interval. For instance, the intervals may be of the same length or may include the same number of data items. We propose a method for defining intervals so that some quantity represented by values of another attribute is equally distributed among the classes. This kind of classification supports exploratory analysis of relationships between the attribute used for the classification and the distribution of the phenomenon whose quantity is represented by the additional attribute. The approach may be especially useful when the distribution of the phenomenon is very unequal, with many data items having zero or low quantities and quite a few items having larger quantities. With such a distribution, standard statistical analysis of the relationships may be problematic. We demonstrate the potential of the approach by analysing data referring to a set of spatially distributed people (patients) in relationship to characteristics of the areas in which the people live.
