Well, beside something like 'unique object ids' these are
a range of meta information. After exporting the data from
within Thuban the user shall be able to work on the produced
map 'prototype' using any SVG capable vector drawing program.
Which is 'Sketch' (will be named Skencil in future) in our case....
Other meta-data like grouping informations to build correlations
between map objects and their corresponding legend-item would
be fine, too.
These are attributes, sketch will be able to use for its modifications.
(e.g. changing the appearence of all streets/rivers/...)
Maybe this even could be imagined as the equivilent to GIS-
classification.
