A logical view of the cartographic information based on the Polygonal Subdivision is studied. A multi-purpose map is represented by a collection of several database relations. Some of them are entity relations expressing geographic entities, and others are relationship relations expressing various types of incidences among entities. Elementary data manipulation operations on the cartographic databases are studied, and implementation of geographic information systems is discussed. - Author
