Abstract
The author, a leading Soviet scholar in computer cartography, provides a general description of the problems of cartographic data portrayal and transformation, generalization, and automated mapping and map analysis. Considerable attention is then devoted to automated techniques of area measurement on maps and the need to develop an artificial cartographic language that will portray spatial information simultaneously in human- and machine-readable forms. Such dual-purpose maps combine the ease of perception afforded by graphic presentation and the accuracy, detail, and speed of analysis made possible by automated information processing. Translated by the author and submitted for publication in August, 1984.
