This
server originates from the European project Daedalus,
chosen among 550 applications by the European Commission
in 1999. To date, it remains the only server that does
not need software from the user side. It means that
the data stay where they are and do not travel outside
the map, which prevent from hacking rough data. You
communicate your figures without taking any risk.
Articque specializes in geostatistics, which consists
in explorative data analysis of geographical information.
Cartography is a tool just like addition and multiplication.
It is not just about representing figures but also
participating to the discovery of messages beyond those
figures. Cartography should get to reconsider synthesis,
and backwards and forwards between map and figures
should improve reflection.
The way we see cartography is pragmatic and kind of
pushes specialists aside. The way we get onto cartography
is well appreciated from the ground people and from
the Education and Research community.
The people using our tools must seek the result behind
the outsides without trying to become a cartographer
or computer specialist.
This is some of the reasons why our customers follow
us, and why they are asked to give their opinion on
a regular basis, to participate to our current and
even future developments.
