Summary

Virtually, everybody has the potential to create a cartographic visualisation of a spatial database by using special mapping, publishing and rendering software. As a result of this development, the task of map creation will increasingly be shifted from the professional cartographer to the map user itself.
However, this bears some danger, since the general user normally does not know about cartographic design and visualisation rules.
In conclusion, the visualisation is still an emergent discipline with remaining problems and with a lot of unanswered questions.
