Abstract
The working procedures on the automatic digitization of map text are described with the emphasis on the context information supplied by the cartographic words. The principles how to establish a knowledge base representing context information are explained through examples, and the final recognition results are demonstrated on a test map with a brief discussion about the recognition efficiency.
