Analytical cartography, spatial data standards, cartographic visualization, and spatial data infrastructure, are four realms of scholarship that have had significant impact on the fields of cartography and geographic information science. Dr. Harold Moellering has been at the forefront of many developments within those scholarly realms. Several topics have been prepared to help organize contributions, as for example the following. Different types of analytic maps were elucidated by Dr. Moellering’s framework about real and virtual maps as published in the early 1980’s. Panelists can consider influences of the framework on scholarly work within digital cartography and GIS across the decades. Dr. Moellering together with Dr. Jon Kimerling pioneered ‘True 3D Visualization’ in the late 1980’s working with partners in the computer graphics industry. Efforts in late 1980’s and early 1990’s helped synthesize the field of Digital cartography, particularly through work by the National Digital Cartographic Data Standards Committee chaired by Dr. Moellering. The Commission on Spatial Data Infrastructure and Standards of the International Cartographic Association (ICA) by 2012 had elucidated three of the five viewpoints of the reference model for open distributed processing (RM-ODP) published in ISO/IEC 10746-1:1998; the three viewpoints are enterprise, information, and computational, while the other two are engineering and technology. Panelists will reflect on contributions about the above viewpoints as encouraged by Dr. Moellering’s work. 

Regards,
