Arthur H. Robinson, an influential American cartographer in cartography set of themes, declared that a correctly not designed chart will be a cartographic defect. He also claimed, when considering all the aspects of the cartography, that the design of chart is perhaps most complex. 5 Robinson codified the comprehension of the mapmaker that a chart must be must be first conceived with the consideration with the assistance and its needs.

A famous example of a chart without scale is the underground chart of London, which achieves better its aim while being less physically precise and more visually communicative with the dispatched glance of the commuter. It is not a cartogram (since there is no measure in conformity of the distance) but a topological chart which also depicts the approximate bearings. The simple charts indicated on some directional signs of road are other examples of this kind.
The matter charts are a new standard of the OIN to describe structures of knowledge and to associate them the resources of information. As such they constitute a technology allowing for the knowledge management. Doubled “the GPS of the universe of information”, the matter charts are also intended to provide new powerful manners to direct the corpora bulky and connected together.
Even when the GI is not implied, the majority of the cartographers now employ a series of modes of computer graphics to produce new charts.
This chart is an exact reproduction of a work 1698 per Nicolas de Fer. Of Iron in their turn had copied the images which were printed the first time in the books by Louis Hennepin, published in 1697, and Franois Of the Hollow, in 1664. With the 1700s, the chart-manufacturers started to give to credit with the original engraver by the impression the expression after the original cartographer on the work.4
Enough true, people marked to the top of the key words in their documents of text processing and employed the latter to produce indices “automatically”, but the resulting indices are firmly remained in the paradigm of the simple documents intended to publish on paper. The electronic world of information is completely different, because the world Web taught us.
The mechanical indexing cannot face the fact that the same subject can be mentioned by multiple names (the “problem of synonym”), nor that the same name can be referred to the multiple subjects (the “problme of homonym”). But it is basically how a Search Engine of sequence functions (no wonder you always obtain thousands of nonrelevant blows and always manage them to miss the thing which you seek!).
