    This paper expounded the author’s research on the index system and knowledge rules for Geographic - Feature - Oriented Generalization, and an example of its application. The research approach is the integration of geo-science analysis & conclusion, map analysis, expert consulting, as well as GIS &. RS spatial analysis method, to extract, conclude and build them. The index system include three types as data, literal and graphic index , and on the other hand grouped by database generalization index and map visualization index. The knowledge rules include, in crosswise, geometric, structure and procedure knowledge, and in lengthways, the knowledge of geographic feature description, operator selection, algorithm selection, as well as specific geo-object oriented and specific region oriented knowledge. In the knowledge base, these knowledge rules are organized by three dimension of variables as generalization condition, generalization scope/level, and generalization actions. The example is the generalization of The Map of Transportation Network in Zhujiang Delta Economic Zone.

    The Fractal method, which is originated from geo-sciences, has been widely applied in various sciences and disciplines. This paper, however, concentrates on the essence of its application, i.e. , how much information it can provide for us, what limit it has, how it can be combined with other methods, in map generalization. Several issues related to the application of Extended Fractal in automatic map generalization is expounded.

    A webmap is a kind of map which be browsed, made and used on the World-Wide-Web. Along with the popularization of Internet, a webmap, as a form of spatial information visualization, has been paid more and more attention to. A webmap has charac-teristics with dynamism, interactivity, hypermedia structure and faster distribution, and has functions with graphics operation, map query, interactive mapping, statistics and analysis, and hyperlink web page. Presently, most webmaps are made by program developers in computer company, and less cartographers participate in the mapping, so there are some problems exist on the display effects of webmaps from the angle of cartographic design and affect the information communication of webmaps. Based on the analysis of some cartographic web sites like http://www. go2map. com, http://www. chinaquest. com, http://www. map960. com, http://www. afmap. com, http://www. fhoo. com, http://www. mapquest. com and http://www. atlas, ccrs. nrcan. gc. ca, the authors summarize the characteristics and functions of webmap, then present the principles of webmap design including interface design, color and symbol design, and layer design according to the authors’ design experiences in the both paper maps and electronic maps. The authors believe that researches on webmap design are helpful to improve the display effects of webmaps and enhance efficiency of information communication. Farther researches on webmap design should be carried out from the viewpoint of cognitive science and user-centered.

    Feature extraction is the key of automated recognition of map symbols. Four two-dimensional invariant features of map symbols are summarized. The methods of the extraction of invariant features and a part of the experiment results are put forward.The four invariant features are the degree of complication of the periphery of the symbols , the breadth length ratio of the symbols, the proportion between the black pixels andall the pixels of a symbol, and the distance between the barycenter and the geometry center of a symbol.These four invariant feature parameters are characterized by invariability of rotation and size. A part of invariant characters has been proved in the paper. They are easy to be picked-up and the calculation is very simple.From the results of the experiment, we can see that the four feature parameters com-mendably describe the characters of the point symbols on maps, and they are not influenced by changing the size of scanning maps or rotating symbols and not disturbed by any noise of the image.The correctness ratio of automated recognition of point symbols on a map could be greatly increased through extracting and analyzing these four feature parameters.
