An evolving cognitive-semiotic approach to geographic visualization and knowledge construction. Alan, M., M. Information Design Journal, 2001.
Website abstract bibtex In this short essay, I consider some relationships between the integrated cognitive-semiotic approach to cartographic representation that I develop in How Maps Work and Jacques Bertin\textquoterights efforts to construct both a comprehensive semiologic framework for map and graphic design and a structured approach to graphic information processing. In relation to the former, particular attention is given to critiques of Bertin\textquoterights \textquoterightgraphic variables\textquoteright and work that extends them into the domains of time, sound, and touch. Then, the commonalities between his concept of geographic information processing and recent developments in geographic visualization (geo-visualization) are outlined. Following from the latter, three geo-visualization research challenges for the coming decade are highlighted. The challenges are driven by changes in both technology and society. These include: dramatically increasing volumes of geographic information, growing awareness of the role of this information in addressing problems that are important for science and society, and advances in visual representation and telecommunications technology that extend the ways in which available geographic information can be used.
