Cartographie d’aujourd’hui et de demain : rappels et perspectives

We start from the fact that each spatial object i is characterized by three coordinates: x (latitude), y (longitude) and z (by tradition elevation). The discussion proposed here turns around three axes: first, we remind some of the main problems when representing a volume (ellipsoid) on a plane (map...
