Generalisation, symbol specification and map evaluation: feedback from research done at COGIT laboratory, IGN France.

This paper presents an overview of research studies made at the COGIT laboratory of IGN France in the fields of generalisation and symbol specification, particularly considering evaluation aspects. It then discusses how generalisation and symbol specification interact. Finally it explores some possible adaptations of the presented works in generalisation and symbol specification to cartography in the context of crisis management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
