With the advent of Geospatial Information Science and Technology (GIS&T)
and the explosive growth in both the variety and volume of geospatial
resources, the role of Discrete Global Grid Systems (DGGS) as an
“information grid” is more and more recognized. Based on a theory first
introduced thousands of years ago by Plato and Archimedes and the outcomes
of a formal development that began in the 1980s, DGGSs have evolved in both
the theory and practice to the point that the Open Geospatial Consortium
(OGC) adopted them last October as a new standard “that improves the way
information is referenced to the earth.”

The editorial team of Cartographica invites paper submissions of original
research from the communities focusing on the development and application
of Discrete Global Grid Systems (DGGS). Topics include but not limited to:

Cartographical aspects of DGGSs,
Advances in Geovisualization using DGGSs,
Modelling spatio-temporal data using DGGSs,
Interoperability within and between different DGGS implementations,
Evaluation and comparative analysis of DGGSs,
Query processing and indexing mechanisms of DGGSs resources,
Applications of DGGSs in various domains, and/or
Digital Earth and DGGS Software tools.

The papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published in a
special issue of the Cartographica in Spring 2019.
