Ethics in Cartography

As cartography and data visualization is more accessible and the power to share information becomes greater and greater, thinking about the ethics behind the maps and visulizations we create becomes a bigger factor to consider.

As I saw some very interesting maps this week, it got me thinking, are there any standards to abide by when you might not be the expert in the field which you are mapping? Well a good start for me as been the British Cartographic Society Code of ethics. Their website states:

The Code of Ethics defines a core set of values that both underpins the professional status of those involved in any aspect of the cartographic industry and aims to build a community whose members act in such a way that promotes trust in the profession and its associated fields.
