Is there some source which describes with some degree of rigor the semantics
portrayed in maps?  Perhaps another way to ask the question (to GIS programmers
and analysts) is:  Has a conceptual (or logical) data model been developed
for some of the fundamental information content of maps?  Thanks for any
replies.
