Neytchev P. The Cartographic Knowledge Base in formulating the linguistic trend of map semiotics. Geografija. 2008. T. 44. Nr. 2. ISSN 1392-1096
The algorithms of the Cartographic Knowledge Base must be based on procedures of information exchange and on the similarity between the map language and a natural language. These two issues are described in detail because during the process of designing the algorithms, both currents appearing at present in cartosemiotic – linguistic and classic – must be taken into consideration. The linguistic current concerns the general rules of the map language, including the principles of creating the cartographic communiqué and the principles of dividing the mental image into separate communication units. The classic current concerns the technical rules of creating the basic communication unit, in other words, it explains the rules constructing the cartographic sentence on a map surface. Therefore, during the process of editing the cartographic communiqué, it is better first to use the linguistic current and then the classic one. Thus, it is advisable to investigate the cartographic editing as a two-stage process.
