Due to wider prevalence of data, teaching the principles of thematic cartography is gaining interest. Students need to understand the power of thematic maps to reveal geographic patterns and relations, and should learn how to create convincing maps. In this paper, student maps featuring socio-economic themes for Northern South Africa show how attention can be drawn to information hidden in data. Seven students each prepared a black-and-white traditional thematic map and a coloured infographics-style map, which were later enhanced by a well-trained cartographer. Through these maps, we demonstrate that the power of thematic maps depends on the chosen cartographic representation and that diversity of visualization options matters when telling a story with a map. Discussion of the maps illustrates the relevance and challenge of thematic maps for society, the need to develop map literacy, and the possibility to accommodate new visualization trends, like narrative data visualization, in thematic cartography teaching. The emphasis should be on using multivariate data and allowing infographics characteristics, thus fostering creativity and preparing students for a role in interdisciplinary data journalism teams.

Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Serena Coetzee, Auteur ; Sanet Carow, Auteur ; Lourens Snyman, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : pp 150 - 164 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Cartographie [Termes IGN] conception cartographique [Termes IGN] enseignement supérieur [Termes IGN] lecture de carte [Termes IGN] logiciel SIG [Termes IGN] représentation cartographique [Termes IGN] thèse Résumé : (auteur) Maps are useful for providing location context and for graphically presenting spatial relationships. They are often used in PhD dissertations to show the location of a study area or to present scientific results. These maps have to tell their story without the PhD candidate being present. We searched for maps in 575 PhD dissertations, and reviewed 192 maps in 65 of these: 38% were created by PhD candidates, 48% were inserted and 14% were adapted from other sources. Maps prepared by PhD candidates had more design shortcomings than other maps. Nevertheless, the number of problems with maps from other sources suggests that guidelines for including them in a dissertation could be useful. Our results suggest that PhD candidates use GIS software to design maps, but that there is room for improvement to guide users towards appropriate design choices. The results will help to plan support services for PhD candidates at universities.

Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Formation [Termes IGN] catalogue de données localisées [Termes IGN] formation initiale [Termes IGN] métadonnées [Termes IGN] métadonnées géographiques [Termes IGN] ressources documentaires Résumé : (auteur) Through the ISPRS scientific initiative presented in this paper, we aim to make geospatial educational resources available and discoverable to those who teach and those who want to learn. In earlier work, we designed and implemented a prototype catalogue for geospatial educational resources, aimed at a target audience in higher education. The success of search and discovery in any catalogue relies heavily on the metadata that describes catalogue entries. Initial feedback showed that users find it difficult to use some of the metadata elements in the prototype to describe their teaching materials. In order to better understand their difficulties and further refine the metadata for describing educational resources that are used for geospatial purposes specifically, we asked a number of participants to describe geospatial educational resources according to four sets of metadata attributes. This paper presents the results of the study and recommends a set of metadata attributes that are specifically useful for geospatial educational resources. Implementation trade-offs are discussed, e.g., deciding between metadata attributes that are very specific or more generic, and catalogue entries that are immediately available to Web search engines without any quality checks vs. catalogue entries that are moderated by a community of educators before publishing them. By providing metadata about geospatial educational resources, the international geospatial community can contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goal 4 to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and to promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.

Geographic information metadata : an outlook from the international standardization perspective / Jean Brodeur in ISPRS International journal of geo-information, vol 8 n° 6 (June 2019)  

Public [article]  inISPRS International journal of geo-information > vol 8 n° 6 (June 2019) . - n° 280 Titre : Geographic information metadata : an outlook from the international standardization perspective Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Jean Brodeur, Auteur ; Serena Coetzee, Auteur ; David Danko, Auteur ; Stephane Garcia , Auteur ; Jan Hjelmager, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : n° 280 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Infrastructure de données [Termes IGN] métadonnées [Termes IGN] métadonnées géographiques [Termes IGN] partage de données localisées [Termes IGN] standardisation Résumé : (auteur) Geographic information metadata provides a detailed description of geographic information resources. Well before digital data emerged, metadata were shown in the margins of paper maps to inform the reader of the name of the map, the scale, the orientation of the magnetic North, the projection used, the coordinate systems, the legend, and so on. Metadata were used to communicate practical information for the proper use of maps. When geographic information entered the digital era with geographic information systems, metadata was also collected digitally to describe datasets and the dataset collections for various purposes. Initially, metadata were collected and saved in digital files by data producers for their own specific needs. The sharing of geographic datasets that required producers to provide metadata with the dataset to guide proper use of the dataset—map scale, data sources, extent, datum, coordinate reference system, etc. Because of issues with sharing and no common understanding of metadata requirements, the need for metadata standardization was recognized by the geographic information community worldwide. The ISO technical committee 211 was created in 1994 with the scope of standardization in the field of digital geographic information to support interoperability. In the early years of the committee, standardization of metadata was initiated for different purposes, which culminated in the ISO 19115:2003 standard. Now, there are many ISO Geographic information standards that covers the various aspect of geographic information metadata. This paper traces an illustration of the development and evolution of the requirements and international standardization activities of geographic information metadata standards, profiles and resources, and how these attest to facilitating the discovery, evaluation, and appropriate use of geographic information in various contexts.

A design pattern approach to cartography with big geospatial data / Serena Coetzee in Cartographic journal (the), Vol 54 n° 4 (November 2017)  

Public [article]  inCartographic journal (the) > Vol 54 n° 4 (November 2017) . - pp 301 - 312 Titre : A design pattern approach to cartography with big geospatial data Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Serena Coetzee, Auteur ; Victoria Rautenbach, Auteur Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : pp 301 - 312 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] conception cartographique [Termes IGN] données localisées [Termes IGN] données massives [Termes IGN] modèle cartographique [Vedettes matières IGN] Géovisualisation Résumé : (Auteur) A design pattern approach for conceptualizing the cartographic design process is presented. A design pattern presents a solution to a problem by describing solutions for the commonalities in problems to be solved. The commonalities of the cartographic design process are identified and MapDesign is described, a design pattern for generating a set of maps from big geospatial data. The MapDesign pattern allows increased map throughput through automation and distributed processing, which frees up time for cartographers and geographic information scientists to make sense of big geospatial data and to select and refine map designs. The description of the MapDesign pattern can aid software developers in understanding how to build tools that allow automation and distributed processing in parts of the map design process for visualizing big geospatial data. Conversely, the visual nature of design patterns can assist cartographers with understanding how software components interact to produce maps.
