APPLICATION OF THE MAP SEMIOTICS THESIS OF CARTOGRAPHIC MODELING

Abstract

The article is devoted to considering the methodology of harmonizing the parameters and elements of the contents of the domestic topographical map of the scale of 1:500,000 with a map of the same scale, developed in accordance with NATO standards (TPC, ONC). It provides for analysis, with the possible reciprocal use of existing Samples of "Maps of Common Action" (Joint operations graphic - JOG, Series 1501) scale 1: 250,000 as a quadruple-sheet map of a scale of 1:500,000. The methodology presents the result of graphic language studies in the general theory of iconic systems as language formations and subsequent scientific developments, which are implemented on the basis of the theoretical and methodological provisions of modern cardboard relative to the normalized structure of the semiotic sides of the "object" language of the map. (obligatory, minimum necessary and sufficient for mapping means of cartographic modeling of features (qualitative, quantitative, functional) various objects, processes and phenomena of real reality and their changes in space and time). It is the sembotic structure interrelated between the sides of the content that makes the map language functioning and determines the degree of perfection (quality) of cartographic image.

This language structure is a reference for requirements, which provides for the control of the correspondence of elements of the content of any geoimage (representation of graphic language spatially and expressed information) with compliance mapping positions of mapping modeling. Thus, on the basis of Semitic analysis, in development of topographic map as tactical-piloting, the necessity of introduction to its digital model of two additional "Coloro-thematic" layers is determined: objects of aeronautical information (dark blue) and "signal" component of the content of the map – signatures of their own names in Latin (light red) colors.
