Abstract: |
Chapter 1 describes the "Design and Implementation of a Cartographic Database" aimed at supporting the composition of a map. This process, which is a mandatory passage point for composing a map in a digital environment, initially includes the study and analysis of the maps to be used as sources, the selection of information based on the scale and purpose of the map to be composed, and the analysis of its content into thematic layers. This is followed by the stages of conceptual, logical, and physical design, which are part of the design of any kind of database but adapted to the design of a cartographic database. The completion of this phase results in the selection of the thematic layers to be included in the database, the determination of the geometry to be used for recording the elements of each thematic layer, the identification of the descriptive characteristics of each thematic layer, and the description of the formatting and domain of each descriptive characteristic.
