ICA Commission Renewal: Cognitive Issues in Geographic Information Visualization (CogVis)
Nomination The Mapping Sciences Institute of Australia is proposing the renewal of the Commission and nominates Dr. Amy Griffin (RMIT University) as nominal Chair (point of contact for ICA). The Cartographic Society of Finland also supports this application and nominates Dr. Pyry Kettunen as a co-Chair. The Czech Cartographic Society supports this application and nominates doc. RNDr. Petr Kubíček as a co-Chair. We propose to operate as co-Chairs rather than Chair/Vice-Chairs but accept that ICA needs a main point of contact for the Commission.
Proposed Leadership Dr. Amy Griffin, Senior Lecturer, School of Science, RMIT University, Australia. (Proposed Chair [point of contact])
Amy Griffin has been a co-chair of the CogVis commission from 2011-2019 and has been an active member of the Geoviz commission since 2003. Her research focuses on understanding how map readers use geovisualizations to think about spatial problems. Her research interests lie in the areas of understanding the affective, cognitive and perceptual processes that geovisualization use draws upon, the human-centered design of geovisualization systems, and developing understandings of how people move through space and time, often with the help of geovisualization tools. She has published in a wide range of cartography and geography journals and currently a member of the editorial boards of The International Journal of Cartography, Cartographica, and the Cartographic Journal. She is the current editor of Cartographic Perspectives.

Dr. Pyry Kettunen has participated in the activities of the CogVIS commission during his previous co-chairing of the Maps and the Internet commission. Kettunen acts as the leader of the Geospatial Representation and Interaction research group in the FGI. His research interests concentrate on building empirically founded knowledge of human interaction with cartographic and geovisual presentations, and on creating accordingly designed geospatial applications. Kettunen has published in central cartographic and geoinformatic journals and made research visits to the Paris Descartes (3 mos) and University of California Santa Barbara (6 mos) universities. doc. RNDr. Petr Kubíček, Associate Professor, Department of Geography, Masaryk University, Brno, Czechia (proposed second co-Chair, eventually to become co-Chair with Pyry in the following term if the commission continues)
A/Prof Dr Petr Kubíček (1963) is the Vice-Chariman of the Czech Association for Geoinformation. In his early career, he worked as a lecturer in the Department of Geography of Masaryk University in Brno, in the telecommunications industry as a specialist for planning and operation of wireless networks, and as a business representative and consultant for INTERGRAPH Czech Republic. Since 2005, he has worked at the Institute of Geography at Masaryk University in Brno, where he specializes in digital cartography and geospatial solutions in crisis management. A/Prof. Kubíček has been actively cooperating with the CogVis Commission since it was established. He is well-known in the CogVis and UUU community within ICA, having actively participated in workshops and conferences (ICC 2011, ICC 2013, GeoViz 2014, Cartocon 2014, ICA Spring 2018). A/Prof. Kubíček is a leading member of the Laboratory on Geoinformatics and Cartography, Masaryk University, and represents a much larger interdisciplinary team executing interdisciplinary research in the field of cognitive visualization and map user research.
Proposed Terms of Reference: 2019-2023 The overall goals CogVis from 2019-2023 will be to: • Promote the awareness of cognitive issues in cartography, developing human-centered cartographic theory and practice based on sound empirical findings on the use of cartographic displays for spatio- temporal inference and decision-making.
• Define short and medium term research goals that fall within the scope of commission-led research agenda that was published in late 2017, and that address key issues associated with building a sound theoretical base to support the construction and use of cognitively adequate and perceptually salient visual displays of geographic information.
• Explore opportunities to engage with standards organisations (e.g., Open Geospatial Commission) to use knowledge from our Commission to positively influence and contribute to standards related to maps and decision making.
• Encourage interdisciplinary and international collaboration with cognate disciplines and relevant stakeholders, including other ICA commissions and working groups.
• Actively seek to encourage more participation in the Commission from researchers in the African and Asia-Pacific regions, which are currently underrepresented among our membership. We will commit to trying to host at least one event in the African region during the term. We also seek, insofar as possible, to also open participation through electronic means, in workshops by using technologies such as Zoom to livecast and record events to improve access for those who cannot physically travel.
Information supporting this nomination (the Commission’s rationale, past achievements, and current membership) can be found below.
Commission Rationale: In recent years geovisualization has morphed into the field of geovisual analytics, emphasizing human exploration of geographic information through highly interactive visual interfaces, taking advantage of perceptual and cognitive abilities to recognize and process patterns and outliers in visual displays, linking these patterns and outliers to existing mental schemata and knowledge bases, and eventually arriving at an appropriate spatially relevant course of action or decision given the visual input (Chen et al., 2008). Visual analytics is based on the intuition that highly interactive and dynamic depictions of complex and multivariate databases amplify human capabilities for inference and decision making, as they facilitate cognitive tasks such as pattern recognition, imagination, association, and analytical reasoning (Thomas and Cook, 2005).
Along those lines a pervasive theme underlying many current (geo-) visualization research challenges is the difficulty of effectively evaluating highly interactive visualization tools and complex displays and identifying their potentially positive influence on exploratory data analysis, knowledge extraction, and learning. While research within the visual analytics and geovisual analytics communities has focused predominantly on building tools and respective highly interactive computer-human interfaces, fundamental investigations based on empirical evidence of the who, what, how, when and why of human inference, analytical reasoning, and spatio-temporal decision making with visual displays work have received considerably less attention. To this day we still know little about the effectiveness of graphic displays for space-time problem solving and behavior, exploratory data analysis, knowledge exploration, learning, and decision-making. This lack of understanding is particularly noteworthy, as the predecessor of the current International Cartographic Association (ICA) Commission on Geovisualization (then called Visualization and Virtual Environments) had already identified this problem at the turn of the century as one of the key challenges for geovisualization research, namely the need to focus on cognitive issues and usability (MacEachren and Kraak 2001). Specifically, these authors point to the need for developing a theoretical framework based on cognitive principles in order to support a human-centered approach to geovisualization. We contend, that less has been achieved today than was anticipated, and cognitive issues should still be of utmost concern to designers and developers of useful and usable map displays. More generally, this is also true for the ICA Commission landscape at large, where fundamental cartographic design theories, map use and spatio-temporal behavior, etc. have rarely been tested empirically and validated by cartographers or other cognate disciplines.
Other related fields of research, for example, information visualization, have also recently identified the need for developing a sound theoretical framework based upon cognitive principles. In 2010, at the VisWeek meeting in Salt Lake City, there were a number of events to support this research direction: an InfoVis Theory Workshop, a Visualization Theory Panel, a Birds-of-a-Feather meeting focusing on how evaluation and theory are connected, and a paper session entitled Theoretical Foundations of Visualization. In psychology, for example within the large US NSF funded Spatial Intelligence and Learning Center, spatial cognition scientists and psychologists have become interested in the effect of studying visuo-spatial displays on spatial thinking and behavior.
This proposal for the renewal of the ICA Commission on Cognitive Issues in Geographic Information Visualization (CogVis) complements and extends the ongoing work of the Visual Analytics Commission, which has been key in establishing the emergent discipline of Geovisualization since 1995; as well as the more recent Use, User and Usability Issues Commission, which since 2005 has been focusing on usability issues and users of cartographic products.
The vision of the proposed CogVis Commission co-Chairs is that this commission will continue to work to provide the empirical basis for developing a cognition and perception-informed theoretical framework on which the design of successful static, dynamic and interactive maps; geovisual analytics displays and systems; and effective human-computer interaction should rest. We are also committed to building linkages with cognate disciplines from which the other mentioned Commissions might benefit such as like-minded researchers in psychology, cognitive science, vision science, human-computer interaction, and the design sciences. Thereby, the CogVis Commission’s work would support that of other existing ICA Commissions, while in turn our own work will be informed by map, geovisualization and human-computer interaction design problems identified by the above-mentioned ICA Commissions and others. For example, while the Map Design Commission aims to identify examples of good cartographic practice that underpin high quality, effective map design (i.e., what), our Commission would empirically assess the identified examples to understand why, how and for whom the employed practices lead to a good quality design. Similarly, while the Geovis Commission aims to identify novel methods and develop new tools for the analysis of spatio-temporal information through interactive visual interfaces (i.e., what & how), our commission would empirically assess the developed examples to understand why and for whom human inference, analytical reasoning, and spatio-temporal decision making with visual displays work more effectively and efficiently. Finally, while the Use and User Issues Commission aims to study map use context including users, use cases, and usability (i.e., who and how), our commission would provide the empirically ground theoretical framework to understand identified use and user issues (i.e., why and for whom).
Past Achievements of the Commission during the Prior Term (2015-2019) The CogVis commission was initiated in 2011 at the Paris ICC. We have been an active commission and have worked hard to achieve the goals set in our terms of reference. By the end of our term, we will have held joint events with eight different Commissions during the past four years. We believe that this is a strength of our commission – in bringing researchers from different areas together to cooperate on topics of mutual and complementary interest.
We report briefly below on the achievements of our Commission in the last four years. Please see our commission webpage for additional detail: https://cogvis.icaci.org/activities.html and https://cogvis.icaci.org/publications.html.
