Historical Geography and Cartography Mathematics and Applications Geographic Information Systems Studies

Abstract

The automation of cartography demands the explicit analysis of maps and elaboration of their structure. Previously, cartographers dealt intuitively with these matters and developed their intuition through study and apprenticeship. Today, the application of mathematical theories is required so that the goals of automation may be achieved without sacrificing the informative character that cartographers intuitively infused into maps. This is not to say that we can automate cartographic intuition, but that we can avoid frustrating it, if we are careful.
