It goes without saying that most cartographers are employed in map-making... Individual cartographers vary a great deal in what they do, but we can identify certain basic functions that are performed by cartographers in general. The most important of these are liaison, editing, drafting, reprographics, administration, research, teaching and custodianship. Depending on the nature and size of the organization for which the cartographer works, he or she may perform just one or several of these functions. 1, record 2, English, - cartographer

Nul besoin de dire que la plupart des cartographes travaillent dans le domaine de la création de cartes [...] Les tâches exactes de chaque cartographe varient beaucoup, mais on peut en identifier les fonctions de base générales. Les plus importantes sont toutefois la liaison, l'édition, le dessin, la reproduction, l'administration, la recherche, l'éducation et la préservation. Selon la nature et la grosseur de l'organisation où il travaille, le cartographe effectuera une ou plusieurs de ces fonctions. 2, record 2, French, - cartographe

Le cartographe donne une représentation visuelle d'un territoire (carte politique, démographique, marine, routière, géologique...). Il doit maîtriser les SIG (systèmes d'information géographique) qui permettent, par exemple, à une commune de visualiser son parc immobilier, de gérer ses permis de construire ou de réaliser une simulation en 3D [trois dimensions] d'une crue. 3, record 2, French, - cartographe
