(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Cornelis Koeman was a Dutch geodetic engineer and cartographer, famous for his work on the history of cartography. Biography Cor Koeman was born as son of Teun Koeman, gardener, and Grietje Ham. He wanted to become a surveyor and took lessons with P.Th.M. Velseboer, working at the Land Registry. As early as 1938, he was appointed as a prospective surveyor at the Survey Department of Rijkswaterstaat in Delft. In addition, he was given facilities for following lectures for civil surveyors at the Delft University of Technology. He completed that training in 1946. Then he went for the engineering title that was obtained in 1950. In the meantime, Koeman had been appointed teacher in Geodesy in Delft. In 1957 he was appointed cartography teacher at Utrecht University. He moved to the Bilt. In 1961 Koeman obtained his doctorate with a thesis entitled: Collections of maps and atlases in the Netherlands. From 1968 to 1981 Cornelis Koeman was professor of cartography and geodesy at the University of Utrecht. He ensured the introduction of a separate specialization in cartography. Right at the start of his professorship in 1968, Koeman came up with a completely new interpretation of the subject of cartography. He based this on the book Sémiologie graphique by the French cartographer Jacques Bertin, which had been published in 1967. Until its abolition in 2002, approximately 250 students graduated in the field of cartography.
