摘要：

Symbols are the main forms to illustrate graphical elements in mapping. Thus, the design of symbol library directly affects the quality of digitalized map and geographic information acquisition efficiency using geographical information system (GIS) software. Generally GIS software manages symbol library as different separate files. There exist various disparities between different GIS software, each of which possesses its own cartographic features and the corresponding symbols system. Consequently, it is commonly difficult to achieve cross-system symbol sharing for different GIS software. Considering the current development of symbol library design, we propose a scheme for the realization of symbol sharing between different GIS software so as to meet the commonality need for different users with different GIS software expertness. The scheme mainly consists of two parts - unified management of symbol library in universal database software and separate storage of graphic symbols and their related properties in different files. Another contribution of this proposal is the independent development of symbol library that could be detached from the development of GIS software.
