Comparison of the features of the representation of GEODATA in cartography and geoinformatics

The aim of the study is formation of approaches to creation of the methodology of data generalization. The comparative analysis of models of GEODATA in analogue and digital paradigms is presented. It is shown that GEODATA can be considered as an example of the generalized complex data type, which includes along with semantics spatial or spatial-temporal components. The features of organization of multilevel geodata bases form the extended typology of relations in this model. The features of variability and alternativeness of GEODATA, which play an important role in the created methodology of reversible generalization of information objects, are considered.
