项目摘要

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), which has been developed in W3C (World Wide Web Consortium), is expected to be a new standard for XML-based graphics descriptions. In the near future, many maps on the Internet will be formatted as SVG. SVG-formatted maps are relatively easily understood by machines because of their internal design structures, compared with image-formatted maps that have been mainly used as graphics on the Web. This paper introduces basic principles of our proposed tool called map checker for checking SVG maps using the knowledge of cartography. The map checker for SVG maps may become something similar to spelling and grammar checkers for text documents. It may help people create better maps to be published on the Internet, and learn cartography and graphic design through the process of improving maps.Maps should communicate the logic of graphic relations represented in the maps with viewers. The graphic relations used in our research are based on visual variables proposed by Jacques Bertin. Many maps on the Internet include inappropriate or wrong graphic relations for visual communication. These bad maps on the Internet are generated through current GIS (Geographic Information Systems), or created by people using some drawing software. Present GIS people have a tendency to think that the geographic databases are essential and maps are only temporal views generated from the databases. As a result, GIS people tend to forget the importance of visual communication, and they are producing poor geographic databases with less imagination, due to a lack of experience in creating effective visual communication. Our proposed map checker will be useful not only for ordinary on-line map creators but for GIS people to improve maps as views of geographic databases, and to learn how important the visual communication is for producing sophisticated geographic databases.

SVG（Scalable Vector Graphics）是W3C（World Wide Web Consortium）提出的一种基于XML的图形描述标准。在不久的将来，互联网上的许多地图将被格式化为SVG。SVG格式的地图相对容易被机器理解，因为它们的内部设计结构，而图像格式的地图主要用作Web上的图形。本文介绍了我们提出的工具，称为地图检查器的基本原理，检查SVG地图使用的制图学知识。SVG地图的地图检查器可能与文本文档的拼写和语法检查器类似。它可以帮助人们创建更好的地图，并在互联网上发布，并通过改进地图的过程中学习制图和图形设计。地图应该与观众沟通地图中所表示的图形关系的逻辑。在我们的研究中使用的图形关系是基于视觉变量提出的雅克Bertin。互联网上的许多地图包括不适当或错误的图形关系，用于视觉传达。互联网上的这些不良地图是通过当前的GIS（地理信息系统）生成的，或者是人们使用一些绘图软件创建的。目前的GIS工作者有一种倾向，认为地理数据库是必不可少的，地图只是从数据库中生成的时态视图。因此，GIS人员往往忘记了视觉传达的重要性，由于缺乏创建有效视觉传达的经验，他们正在制作缺乏想象力的劣质地理数据库。我们建议的地图检查器将是有用的，不仅为普通的在线地图创作者，但GIS的人，以改善地图的地理数据库的意见，并了解如何重要的视觉通信是生产复杂的地理数据库。
