Abstract

This paper addresses the issue of designing efficient on-demand maps in services oriented architectures. Some crucial steps of an on-demand map design process are not supported by today's architectures and may greatly benefit from knowledge that has been formalised by cartographers, like the definition of styles to draw geographical data on the map. Our proposal aims at integrating part of cartographic expertness, mostly semiologic rules, in Web mapping services oriented architectures. It comprises a set of Web services dedicated to facilitating the definition of accurate legends with respect to user objectives and data.
