Zur Klassifikation der Kommissionen der Internationalen Kartographischen Vereinigung (IKV) [On classification of the commissions of the International Cartographic Association (ICA)]

The paper tries to depict some classification forms of the commissions of the International Cartographic Association (ICA). After pragmatic characteristics (experience, name, priority, "classical"/"non classical", etc.) one can characterize, classify and evaluate all ICA commissions. A new research field "Commissions onomastics" in cartography is proposed.
