Sources of variability in cartographers' deconstruction of fractals : paper presented at the 18 November 1998 meeting of the British Cartographic Society's Design Group at the University of Glasgow

Abstract

Opening paragraph:
This research was designed for two reasons: firstly, to involve anyone with an interest in cartographic visualisation to participate in eliciting cartographic knowledge and to provide them with the opportunity to contribute their practical knowledge and opinions; and thereby, secondly, to inform the design of algorithms for line generalisation. In the past, there has been some resistance to such mining and codification of expert knowledge. However, many cartographers now welcome highly interactive computer graphics, computer mapping and virtual reality systems as providing them with new opportunities for launching cartography into a new creative age (Collinson, 1997). There is thus a growing willingness to collaborate in projects that could lead to better cartographic software.
