SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is expected to be a new standard for graphic data on the Internet.... more 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. 1.

Most internet search engines, for example, have the ability to generate maps in response to spatial queries and routes between specified origins and destinations. Advances in mobile computing technologies provide access to these mapping capabilities from virtually any location on the Earth's surface. Maps and map-making have become ubiquitous, and this phenomenon requires cartographers to rethink basic concepts about map design and map use. In this special issue we present five research projects that are focused on the emerging field of ubiquitous cartography. These projects were selected, in part, because they are representative of key research challenges that face the cartographic research community. In this introductory paper, key terms are defined and research challenges outlined. By way of this collected set of papers, ubiquitous cartography is presented as a new and important arena for cartographic research.
