Learning Outcomes : Upon successful completion of the course, the student: • Is able to design a spatial database that serves cartographic synthesis • Searches, obtains, checks the suitability of, and manages cartographic data from different sources • Utilizes interoperability for exchanging cartographic data between entities • Applies the procedures (transformations, checks, etc.) required for integrating cartographic data from other sources into a cartographic database • Knows the concept of spatial data quality, its components, and their impact on the reliability of a cartographic product • Understands topological relationships and utilizes them for checking the consistency of cartographic data geometry • Knows spatial interpolation and the algorithms that implement it and applies it for creating a DTM as well as its three-dimensional representation • Understands cartographic generalization and model generalization and applies cartographic generalization for producing print and web maps • Creates a print map by adopting the principles of cartographic design and good practices of cartographic rendering • Understands the special characteristics of a map for the Internet • Knows the standards for publishing spatial data and maps on the Internet • Utilizes map elements, interactivity, and interface tools for optimal user communication with the map • Publishes thematic layers and maps on the Internet and creates web mapping applications • Has skills in using a modern GIS and automating the execution of a series of procedures by creating user-adapted tools.
