Mapping spaces in fiction seems like a simple idea. But in fact, it turns out to be a major interdisciplinary challenge at the crossroads of literary theory and cartographic concepts for more than one hundred years. Introduced and contextualised is the emerging field of a literary geography along with one of its core methods: literary cartography. After facing a certain period of stagnation, wh...

The paper presents a new method for representation and processing ontological knowledge – Knowledge Cartography. This method allows for inferring implicit knowledge from both: terminological part (TBox) and assertional part (ABox) of a Description Logic ontology. The paper describes basics of the method and gives some theoretical background of the method. Knowledge Cartography stores and proces...

ion rules and classification mechanisms so that all of views are consistent. The cartography of dynamic objects also requires to abstract the rules that constrain how objects change and relate to each other over time. Enterprise cartography deals with the dynamic design and production of architectural views that depict the components of an organisation and their dependencies. It shares its cons...

In this paper, I discuss how mapmaking has changed in the context of database structures, networks, the Internet, and virtual worlds. I examine what the mapping of cyberspaces can show us by considering recent cartographic projects, especially within a media arts context. When we attempt to draw a map of an unseen or previously unexamined, digitally-mediated territory, we are giving a visual fo...

The dawn of new technologies on the horizon, such as telecommunication, mobile internet, and handheld computing devices, offers new chances to the discipline of cartography. However, existing approaches to mobile cartography mostly have a commercial background and are rather technology centred. This quite narrow view ignores many relevant problems and does not fully profit from the new possibil...

In the course of the nineteenth century, medical thinking took a significant spatial turn. This manifested itself in, among other things, the development of medical cartography. The geographic location, the contours of distribution and the connections with the physical environment of particular diseases were for the first time indicated on maps. On the basis of such cartographic visualizations,...
