Abstract

The paper puts recent advances as within geodisics, photometrics, topography and communications into their interrelating context of present day cartography. A historical survey of the cartographical scene during the 60s is used to tie in a promising vision of what the early years of the 90s could promise us in this field thanks to to advances in solid state physics, information processing improvements and second generation photometric analysis and global positioning systems. All the afore-going has led to a radical change in National Topograhical Atlases with a call now for an incorporation of digital atalses and a digital systematization of ground relief. To this must be added all that can be offered by archive storing advances now that new support sistems such as the WORN optical disk have come on the scene, as well as the possibilities opened up by new ways of spreading information. The future of cartography, thanks to all this, is felt here to be most promising and many time shrouded concepts as within the world of geographical information as seen as bein soon to the questioned.
