КАРТОГРАМИТЕ НЕ СА ОБИКНОВЕНИ КАРТИ. Затова, според мен, тук не става дума за mapping of earth masses или за land mapping с всичкото ми дължимо уважение към колегите Trufev и Mihaela Boteva.

Тук иде реч, по моему, за earthwork, за land excavation, за статистика и за изчисления, за calculation tables of land masses (dirt) to be excavated (изкопи), hauled and piled (насипи).

Ето например определението на "картограма на земните маси" според НАРЕДБА № 4 ЗА ОБХВАТА И СЪДЪРЖАНИЕТО НА ИНВЕСТИЦИОННИТЕ ПРОЕКТИ (www.comfort.bg/bg/files/b7224d0d3c3997f526dfc970935e091d.do... (http://nide.hit.bg/Norm3.html)
"в) картограма на земните маси с изчисление на обемите изкопи и насипи във фигури или квадрати по средна работна кота и площ в таблици или ведомост и преместване на земните маси;"

"обемите изкопи и насипи" и "преместването на земните маси" по същество са earthwork & mass haul. Съществува цяла дисциплина earthwork calculations. ( http://www.unb.ca/web/transpo/mynet/mtu65.htm ; neomug.tmc.org/earth.ppt ; www.insitesoftware.com/092000.htm)

А ето и дефиниции на картограма (хем карта, хем не) на английски:

"cartogram = A specific map projection that converts topographic areas into statistical proportions" (http://www.gtasa.asn.au/glossary/gloss_c.htm)

"Cartogram: A Type of map that shows statistics geographically" (http://www.guttenberg.k12.ia.us/dikkers_steve/EarthScienceHa...

"Cartogram is a diagram that makes use of a form of map to present numeric information while maintaining a degree of geographical accuracy. Note that cartograms are representations of geographical space. Mapping requirements comprise of orientation contiguity, data that have suitable variation and preservation of shape. Accuracy of area estimation and effective legend design could lead to successful communication. Cartogram could be constructed manually or with the help of computers. Employ logic before making use of cartograms. Note that cartogram is not a true map as it does not show geographic space but changes the size of objects based on a certain attribute. The three main cartograms that show different attributes of geographic objects are: contiguous, non-contiguous and dorling cartograms." (http://www.clearleadinc.com/site/cartography.html)

"A cartogram is a diagram which uses the form of a map to present numeric information while maintaining some degree of geographic accuracy." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartogram)

"There are times when a cartographer faces a job where it is more important to give an impression of the magnitude of things than their exact spatial location. To achieve this, the cartographer sometimes distorts the actual geography of the map. The resulting maps are called cartograms." (http://www.geog.ubc.ca/courses/geog372/labs/lab9cart02.html)

"Earthwork Map, showing areal extent and depth of all earthwork, referencing as-built geotechnical data, such as compaction tests." (http://web.umr.edu/~rogersda/planning_aspects/GHADs/hoa_arti...№

"Earthwork Calculation Service"

" Terrain Mapping allows contractors to use the machine to easily create a terrain or topographic map of the earthworks project. By logging this data, the contractor can create progress maps to measure productivity and improve project planning." (http://www.trimble.com/news/051303b.htm)
