Abstract :
There is an intensive using of information technologies in many branches of human activity nowadays. Software designers and developers are stimulated by positive results and success information technologies. Many new functions are arising in most software products used in geographical information systems and digital cartography too. For many users of this software, it is very valuable possibility to design graphic outputs and map design. There are two ways how to eliminate the problem of the insufficient knowledge of cartographic rules. The first way is education in cartography, but this is time-consuming. Second way is making application, which allows design correct maps and allows spreading of knowledge. This application can create map either automatically or with interactive activities of the user. Automatically generated maps cannot fully substitute professional maps, but expert system for cartography is useful for students and other users in the process of map making. The expert system both leads in correct creation of map both explain rules of cartography. Design of intelligent web based application for cartography is described in this article.
