The work formalizes the phenomenon of Conceptual Frameworks of Spatial Systems. It preceded by the conceptualization of the same phenomenon, but made for a narrower class of classic Atlas Systems. Formalization needs for several reasons. The first is the use of Conceptual Frameworks in the creation of System Cartography and, in particular, Model-Based Cartography as a new system paradigm of cartography and as a specialization of Model-Based Engineering. The second is the simplification of implementation, since formalized constructions are easier to implement by informatics means. The third is the possibility of using inductive inferences by researchers with experience different from ours.
This article first describes the formalized constructions of levels and strata of the Spatial Systems Conceptual Framework. At the same time, for the formalization of the concept of strata, the concept used even more widely than Spatial Systems. This is the so-called Science of information systems, which is of great importance for understanding the essence of both research and design of system subjects X. After that, practically applicable constructions of the Atlas or Spatial Systems Conceptual Framework strata obtained by analogy.
The indicated three reasons are satisfied by considering the Conceptual Framework formalizations relevant today from the viewpoints of three disciplines: 1) cartography, 2) informatics, 3) systemology. In cartography are drawn analogies that are important for modern practice - with the formal map model of McKenney-Schneider’s Map Framework in the monograph of 2016. In computer science – with the Concepts of Software Stability in the monograph of 2015. In systemology – with Klir’s Universal System Problem Solver, which is relevant even in our time. At the end, opinions are expressed regarding the applicability of the Conceptual Framework of subjects X to the classification of Systems of spatial activity such as Cartography in general or System Cartography in particular.
Keywords: Conceptual Framework of Atlas or Spatial Systems (AtS/SpS) in the broader sense (AtSb/SpSb), Infrastructure of AtS/AtSb (SpS/SpSb), formalization of the AtSb/SpSb Conceptual Framework.
