Conference Cartography, Geoinformation and Spatial Data Visualization |
Organizer: Croatian Cartographic Society
CALL FOR PAPERS (PDF version) |
|
At the 12th General Assembly of the International Cartographic Association (ICA), held in Durban, South Africa, the ICA Strategic Plan for the period 2003-2011 has been adopted. The Strategic Plan, which is available at the Internet site www.icaci.org includes the following definitions: Map is a symbolised representation of a geographical reality, representing selected features and characteristics, resulting from the creative effort of its author's execution of choices, and is designed for use when spatial relationships are of primary relevance. Cartography is the art, science and technology of making and using maps. By organizing this conference, the Croatian Cartographic Society would like to contribute to the development of geoinformatics, cartography, geography and all related fields. This time, special stress is put on spatial data visualisation. A picture is worth a thousand words, goes an old proverb, giving a simple answer to the question of need of visualisation. Spatial Data Visualisation is the ability to represent or conceive space in form of pictures. Modern cartographic visualisation encompasses digital cartography and computer graphics. Concerning quality, it is a significant change of visual representation in almost real time, which improves better understanding of lots of spatial data. Concerning quality, it is the possibility of quicker and cheaper production of a wide range of cartographic products. |
