Abstract

In this issue number 19 of TECCOGS magazine, we address the theme "Digital intelligence of cartography". We gather reflections on the relations between cartographic language and cognitive processes, especially in the context of digital mapping technologies. Cartography is a research object that requires an interdisciplinary look. The map, its main artifact, attracts studies that have long gone beyond geography, embracing disciplines such as cognitive sciences, computing, history, communication, and semiotics itself. However, there is a point in common in all these approaches: the interest in the interpretive potential provided by the different representations of space.
