NeoCartography and geoliteracy: How the representation of cartographic materials in information systems intervenes in the search practices of geography community
Abstract
This research will analyze the adequacy of the representations of cartographic resources included in information retrieval systems to the search and access needs of the community specialized in Geography. Among the proposed objectives are to survey such systems at the public, governmental and national levels; to identify the metadata standards or schemes used and to study the ways of searching, accessing and using these resources. The work methodology to be implemented will be based on a descriptive-exploratory quantitative-qualitative approach to be developed in three phases or work stages. The first phase will be devoted to the analysis of the representations based on the identification of the systems and the subsequent application of evaluation criteria and instruments to carry out the observation. The second phase will include a survey of the selected population to learn how users access the information contained in the cartographic resources, which will be complemented with semi-structured interviews based on a purposive sample of key subjects. In a third stage, the results of phase one and two will be analyzed comparatively in order to identify the relationships between the representations, the existing systems and the expectations and search needs of the users.Downloads
