一体化地图制图信息系统的建立及其应用

由于新技术的发展和应用,地图制图信息系统提出了新的概念,地图生产和应用观念都发生了根本变化,地图学家在新时期下面临着新的机遇和挑战。为了促进我国地图学的发展,中科院地理所引进了美国INTERGRAPH系统,同时又开发了自己的电子地图创作系统EA-World,并研制了两系统之间的接口,使两系统结合成为一体化的地图制图信息系统。系统先后完成了多个国家级图集的印刷版和电子版的制作,取得了良好的效果。文中系统地介绍和总结了这一系统的构成、功能和特点及其工艺流程。

Building and application of the integrated cartographic information system

Modern cartography makes great achievements on application and theories in 90s. Standardized and multi resource data, interactivity, dynamism and real time, hypermedia, network are its main features in this age. Under the support of new technology, integrated Cartographic Information System (CIS) has been put forward. Several such systems have been built all over the world. So modern cartographers are facing an opportunity and challenge. They must not only continue making maps, but also use and improve CIS. The Institute of Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences,imported INTERGRAPH system for printing atlas and developed EA World for electronic atlas. The exchanging interface was also developed to combine them as an integrated CIS. Many national atlases including electronic version and printed version have been finished by this system sucessfully. This paper concludes the structure, functions,producing flow and craft and characteristics of CIS through INTERGRAPH system and EA World system.
