Automated Spatial Data Processing and Refining

This paper focuses on the definition of a method for data processing by means of automated professional map generation. For this, initially services have to be identified that represents cartographic rules and recommendations. In order to link those services with respect to their cartographic content and to control the process within a component, a set of rules has to be designed. This is explained by examples and can be used as a template pattern for other services. Individual services and modules within the process will be arranged hierarchically on the basis of the cartographic visualisation pipeline. Its consequent graphical classification is presented. The aim is to prepare the theoretical cartographic basis in a formal way, which should enable technical implementation without cartographic technical expertise.
