Claim Text:
1. A method performed by a dynamic cartography system configured to interactively support mapping services on a client device connected to the system via a network, the method comprising: determining a plurality of thematic categories, each corresponding to a respective associated modeling profile stored in the dynamic cartography system; receiving a request from the client device to provide a map based on one of a plurality of thematic categories, wherein the plurality of thematic categories and respective modeling profiles are determined prior to receiving the request; identifying a geographic region based at least in part on the request; identifying renderable representations of objects within the geographic region based on geographic coordinate data associated with the renderable representations, each renderable representation comprising a plurality of polygons and one or more attributes that define an appearance of the renderable representation; identifying one or more points-of-interest within the geographic region that are associated with the thematic category of the request; altering the one or more attributes that define the appearance of each renderable representation corresponding to the one or more points-of-interest, wherein the altering is based on the stored modeling profile associated with the thematic category of the request, and wherein the stored modeling profile is applied to emphasize the points-of-interest associated with the thematic category of the request relative to other renderable representations identified within the geographic region; generating a renderable map data of the geographic region comprising an altered renderable representation corresponding to the one or more points-of interest and the other renderable representations; and transmitting data comprising the renderable map data to the client device.
