The basis of the content of the photoatlas “Project Altai 2008/2009 - 2019“ were the

facts of the ICA scientific seminars of the Commission on Theoretical Cartography,

organized in 2008 and 2009 in the Barnaul city in Russia.

At the International Cartographic Conference 2007 in Moscow Irina Rotanova

proposed to hold such seminars in the Institute of Water and Environmental Prob-

lems. The organizers were A. Wolodtschenko (chair of the Commission), Irina

Rotanova and Alexander Koshkarev (members of the Commission).

The photoatlas contains retrospective photographic materials about the ICA Seminar

“Quo vadis modern cartography”, an excursion to Altai Mountains in 2008, a visit to

the Altai State University (ASU) with guest lectures at the Geographical faculty and

about the ICA Seminar „Cartography on the cross-roads“ in 2009.

This photoatlas as an electronic ubiquitous product reflects the results of the work of

the ICA Commission on Theoretical Cartography in its third period 2007-2011. In the

period 2011-2015, the Commission was still on the lists of the ICA, but unfortu-

nately in the period 2015-2019 it ceased to exist.

ICA Seminar 2008 1-6 September 2008 with Exscursion in Altai Region

On September 1, 2008, the ICA seminar

"Quo vadis modern cartography?" of the

Commission on Theoretical Cartography

(Chairman of the Commission Dr. A.

Wolodtschenko, Institute of Cartography,

Dresden University of Technology,

Germany) took place in the Institute of

Water and Environmental Problems of

the Siberian Branch of the Russian

Academy of Sciences (Barnaul) on the

basis of the Laboratory of Ecological and

Geographical Mapping (head of the

laboratory, Irina Rotanova).

The seminar ended with an excursion to

the Altai Region from 2 to 6 September

On the seminar

8

At the ICA Seminar “Quo vadis modern

cartography?”, held in Russia for the first

time, a wide range of theoretical and applied

questions of cartography was examined:

- map language and a new conception the

meta-cartosemiotics

- ecological cartography as a modern

cartographic cognition of reality

- spatial data infrastructure and geoportals

- cartographic modeling according to remote

sensing data, etc.

The seminar highlighted one interesting para-

dox of modern cartography: it does not have

a discipline that would study a variety of tra-

ditional and electronic cartosemiotic models

(maps, atlases, globes, animations, etc.) with

introduction of cartosemiotic knowledge into

universities.

Poster discussion

In 2009, the ICA Commission on Theore-

tical Cartography continued the series of

scientific seminars, which began in

Lithuania, Russia and Ukraine in 2008. One

of such seminars on the topic “Cartography

on the cross-roads” was held on April 17,

2009 in the Institute of Water and

Environmental Problems of the Siberian

Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences

in the city of Barnaul.

This seminar continued the discussion of

actual problems of cartography, raised at the

ICA seminar in Barnaul in September 2008.
