A Tool for Checking Graphic Logic in Svg Maps

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is expected to be a new standard for graphic data on the Internet. In the near future, many maps on the Internet will be formatted as SVG. SVG-formatted maps are relatively easy to be understood by machines because of their internal design structures compared with image-formatted maps which have been mainly used as graphics on the Web. This paper introduces backgrounds and basic frameworks of our proposed tool map checker to help people produce better SVG maps using the knowledge of graphic representation and cartography.
