In order to assist with producing satisfactory maps, it is essential that carto-graphic knowledge be built into such systems. In the present paper, the need for such "intelligent" systems is explored and a comprehensive functional specification for a cartographic design expert system is presented. The specification covers a wide range of map topics and carto-graphic representation methods, but focuses on maps in the scale range 1:2 000 000 to 1:15 000 000. This specifi-cation could be used either to develop an independent mapping system or to provide a cartographic design in-terface for existing systems. It is shown that, by examining the cartographic design process in detail and breaking it down into subprocesses, what initially may appear to be an insoluble problem can be largely automated.

On the parametric description of the shape of the cartographic line / Andriani Skopeliti in Cartographica, vol 36 n° 3 (September 1999)  

Public [article]  inCartographica > vol 36 n° 3 (September 1999) . - pp 53 - 65 Titre : On the parametric description of the shape of the cartographic line Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Andriani Skopeliti, Auteur ; Lysandros Tsoulos, Auteur Année de publication : 1999 Article en page(s) : pp 53 - 65 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Cartographie numérique [Termes IGN] cartographie Résumé : (Auteur) The description of the nature and shape of the carto-graphic line has been a challenging research area in con-temporary cartography. The digital character of the line, while representing a tempting research element, reveals the extent of the problems related to line character as-sessment because of the practically unlimited number offorms the cartographic line can take. Recent research hasresulted in a number of parameters (measures) describ-ing the line shape qualitatively and quantitatively. Thispaper deals with the following two themes: (1) the quantitative description of line character through a number ofparameters; and (2) the development of a methodologyfor the segmentation of the cartographic line into "ho-mogeneous" parts. The identification, selection, and clus-tering of parameters, leading to the sufficient description of line character, is elaborated. The "knowledge" thus ac-quired is valuable for the objective description of line shape and constitutes the basis for addressing other prob-lems, such as the realistic estimation of positional error in data acquisition and the efficient generalization of linearfeatures.
