The arrival of information age and big spatio-temporal data age brings new demands for the ability of expression and analysis of cartography. The existing theories of cartography are difficult to adapt to the research needs above, and there are still some obvious deficiencies in the aspects of modeling elements, information processing and expression forms. Based on the concept of geographic scenario which is a new cartography, we discuss the connotation and characteristics of geographic scenario and describe the necessity and main technical approaches of transformation from maps to scenes. We also propose a data model, a calculation model and an expression model for the development of cartography in the new era. The data model can be broken through from the unified geometric algebra data model based on the integrated representation of geographic six-elements. The computational model can utilize the mathematical space which solves the multiple information on constructing the solving strategies of the corresponding mappings, associations and operators. Finally, we point out the development direction of the expression model which contains the scenario adaptive combination and multi-model presentation of spatio-temporal distribution, evolution processes and factor interactions.
Key words: cartography; geographic scenario; geographic six-elements
