SUMMARY

Master's thesis aim is to develop rules for filling the knowledge base of expert system, revise the principles, rules and methods for thematic cartography visualization of relative values of the phenomenon. Before the work was studied map and atlas creation, literature review focused on the processing of relative values of the phenomenon. The next step was followed by a treatment decision-making process to create thematic maps by topic, by purpose and function of maps and the choice of means of expression. The final work was linked to the individual decision-making processes in a logical whole - the ontology for visualization of relative values of the phenomenon in thematic maps.The resulting ontology represents relations, cardinality, and their decision-making rules. But different authors, different cartographic schools have had significantly different concepts. The work was nearly impossible to achieve consensus on only one unique solution. Because of incompatible terminological differences were compiled two solutions: First solution in the English language of Anglo-Saxon cartographic school, which is based on Western European and North American publications, authors, and second main solution in czech language by the Eastern European (Central European) cartographic school, which relies on local authorities publication. Both solutions were implemented by means of ontology formats RDF/OWL and XML/OWL, where the first step was staged according to literature compiled taxonomy of concepts. The work was addressed in the project GA205/09/1159 Intelligent support for interactive creation of thematic maps (from 2009 to 2011, GA0/GA). The project deals with intelligent system, serving a user to support creation of interactive maps. Ontologies have been built in open source software version 3.4.4 Protégé. Which is one of the most widely used tools provided free, independent platform for developing and managing ontologies and knowledge bases, which are used in various applications of knowledge and a broad range of application domains. The definition of classes and objects was realized through the menu OWLClasses, object properties, their definition of subject fields and values are defined in the Properties menu and finally were in different classes of a defined binding conditions. The resulting ontology has been inspired by studies already created ontologies from various areas of human activity on the Web Protégé Ontology Library, which offers many practical examples.
