Abstract
This work presents an approach to map interpretation starting from unstructured vector data. For this task a map interpreter based on PROLOG and grammatical object descriptions has been considered. The major challenge in this approach is the definition of production rules and grammars which are general enough to handle different data sets and which are specific enough to discriminate the different object types.
