It involves the careful selection of data and the use of a range of abstraction techniques that seek to give emphasis to what is important, while still including sufficient contextualizing information. If geographic phenomena are stored at fine levels of detail, the goal of automated map generalization is to derive maps at coarser (smaller) scales. Traditionally, the focus has been on paper maps, but increasingly map generalization services are available via the web, and accessible to users with relatively little cartographic knowledge who wish to integrate data from multiple sources (including their own). These high levels of automation require us to make explicit the relationships and behaviors among geographic phenomena, in order that we can reason about the complex decision‐making process that is cartographic design.

[Vedettes matières IGN] GénéralisationRésumé : (Auteur) Automation of the cartographic design process is central to the delivery of bespoke maps via the web. In this paper, ontological modeling is used to explicitly represent and articulate the knowledge used in this decision-making process. A use case focuses on the visualization of road traffic accident data as a way of illustrating how ontologies provide a framework by which salient and contextual information can be integrated in a meaningful manner. Such systems are in anticipation of web-based services in which the user knows what they need, but do not have the cartographic ability to get what they want.

A sequence of participatory activities identified the need for ontologies related to tasks, algorithms, data quality and truth, content selection, layout constraints, and geographical modelling (the set of relations among a set of map features). The workshop resulted in a deeper shared understanding of relationships between concepts that lie at the heart of map generalization. At the conclusion to the workshop attendees were tasked with developing case studies that will be shared via a wiki, and reported upon in a subsequent meeting devoted to ontological modelling for map generalization. This report is not exhaustive in its presentation of all the ideas and material presented at the workshop, but seeks to convey the over-arching methodology and its core findings.

[Vedettes matières IGN] GénéralisationRésumé : (auteur) It would be a mistake to see map generalisation merely as the automation of a set of cartographic practices. The process of representing various geographies at different levels of detail goes to the heart of geographical understanding. Comprehension and context comes from being able to examine information at multiple levels of detail. An automated environment that can support such interaction depends upon a rich understanding of the qualities, behaviours and relationships among the various geographic phenomena that are being mapped. In this chapter we seek to explore the complexity of map generalisation, reflecting on the impact of the changing ways in which we gather and interact with geographic information. This in turn provides a justification for the structure of the book which is then summarised in the second half of this chapter.

[Vedettes matières IGN] GénéralisationRésumé : (auteur) The core ambitions of map generalisation remain the same-as do a set of inter connected research activities concerned with algorithm developments, user requirements modelling, evaluation methodologies, and the handling and integration of multi scale, global datasets. Technology continues to afford new paradigms of data capture and use, in turn requiring generalisation techniques that are capable of working with a wider variety of data sources (including user generated content), and web friendly mapping services that conceal the complexities of the map design process from the lay user. This summarative chapter highlights yet again, the truly inter disciplinary nature of map generalisation research.
