29.5 Conclusion and vision
Standards are useful for almost all kinds ‘exchange’ applications and have enormous impact when transferring/using digital data. For cartographic applications the influence of standards on technical implementations are becoming standard in telecommunications and spatial description, where these formats result in executable software. Thus the use of standards may affect interoperability in each step of the cartographic communication process.
A vision for the unification of data used and communication types may for instance support real X-media cartography. This means that if the presentation form and the media format changes the content will stay the same. Of course the high quality needs of cartographic applications, its semantics, perception, knowledge communication and immersive multimedia usage have to be further investigated. But the ability to compose sustainable multimedia maps with the help of standards, norms and Open Source is a formidable modus operandi.
