Map base, base of map and map foundation

Pravda, J.: Map base, base of map and map foundation. Kartografické listy, 1998, 6, 7 figs., 10 refs.

Abstract: The term map foundation was missing in the Slovak and Czech cartographic terminology. There existed the terms base of map, map base and basic map (basic map material). But they did not fully express the essence of the geometric base of map. A new definition of the term map base by means of explained terms map foundation and map basic elements is proposed. The term map foundation is included in new terminological dictionary of geodesy, cartography and cadaster.

Keywords: Definitions of terms: base map, map base, map basic elements
