or stand-by with only 2 days notice as the
conference chair invited the presenter to fill an
empty slot and summarise the ICSU - CODATA
CONFERENCE CONTRIBUTIONS done last year, where
the FUTURE OF MULTIMEDIA was (is) not published
(yet)!! The presentation included the above
contributions but focussed on the World MAP and
MODEL aspects with a strong focus on
Geoinformatics and Sustainability. So please
follow the links to SUPER SIGNS and
Superstructures, KNOWMAP Spacial-Spatial and the
Systems Encyclopedia entries about mental models
and a cognitive panorama, which were sections
which are not included in the following slides,
but were part of the actual presentation and
essential to get a bigger picture of what was
presented. Please also note ! that is
presentation focussed and is dedicated (see
slides) to 1. Carl Ritter, 2. Foucault, 3.
Charles Francois, and last not least Herbert

CARL RITTER WORLD MAPPING and WORLD MODELLING
revisited
This invited ad-hoc presentation is dedicated to
Carl Ritter (1779 - 1859), who taught 40 years
here in Berlin at the Humboldt University. The
father of systematic, general and comparative
geography and made Geography leave the box of a
specialist, elitist science operating just with
lists and tableaus and made Geography reach the
people. With strong focus on education, with the
a Pestalozzi, he helped to look into geography
as a vehicle to understanding the issues in their
context and frame of reference. Muster pattern
method beyond just physical but as general and
comparative geography historical element,
contextual, situational, looking into frame of
reference !
