Doctors and Masters of Sciences 128 KiG 2003, 2 A Promotion of Masters of Sciences at the Faculty of Geodesy, University of Zagreb A promotion and a solemn distribution of diplomae of masters of sciences was held in the Faculty hall in Zagreb on February 21, 2003. On that occasion, following people received their academic master degrees: Tea Duplanèiæ-Leder Ivka Kljajiæ Marko ljivariæ Danko Markovinoviæ Ivana Wechselberger born Javoroviæ Marijan Marjanoviæ Ljerka Raiæ Ivana Racetin Vesna Poslonèec-Petriæ Milan Rezo Damir antek Stipica Pavièiæ. The solemn promotion was directed by the dean and the vice dean of the Faculty of Geodesy, Prof. Dr. T. Baiæ and Prof. Dr. N. Franèula. In his speech, the dean congratulated the masters and their fami- lies, wives and husbands, parents and friends. He also said that on the average, four people become masters of science at the Faculty of Geodesy every year, which is not much for the University, but it is a lot for the Faculty of Geodesy, which is small by the number of students, but not small by the quantity of works. As many as 5 of the 12 mentioned masters are from the field of cartography, so one could say that it was, in a way, a cartography holiday. Following are short summaries of masters theses from the field of cartography, which were presented by the mentors: q Tea Duplanèiæ-Leder (defence day: February 17, 2000, mentor: Prof. Dr. N. Franèula, thesis title: Electronic Charts in Maritime Cartography) The basic goal of this thesis is the production of an electronic navigation chart model in a way that the national norms and standards which exist at the Hydrographic Institute of the Republic of Croatia mix with the standards recommended by the Interna- tional Hydrographic Organization. In order to achieve that, a short history of maritime cartography on the East Adriatic coast and hydrographic practice with its latest standards and technology are given. The thesis also describes the newest techniques and technologies used in the production of classic paper maritime navigation charts. All types of systems of electronic navigation charts currently available in literature are briefly described, each with one characteristic piece of equipment and the descrip- tion of the cartographic representation. After that a description of object oriented data model and an object catalogue for electronic navigation chart is mentioned. A part of symbols used for classic paper and electronic maritime navigation chart was made with the Fontographer 4.0 program, and with the help of those symbols a plan of the Pula harbour (scale 1:30 000) and a part of coastal map which repre- sents the area near the ibenik harbour (scale 1:100 000) were visualized. Similarities and differ- ences of representation between the classic maritime and electronic navigation chart are dis- cussed in the end. q Ivka Kljajiæ (defence day: February 2, 2001, mentor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. M. Lapaine, thesis title: Croatian Cartographers) The major goal of this thesis was to collect, fill in and edit available data about people which can be
